New Definition of TUBA

Post by 1895King »

TUBA--An alcoholic drink of the Philippines made from the sap of the fruit branch of the coconut tree. "When fresh, it is a very pleasant beverage, but after it ferments is mildly intoxicating and in lager portions makes the drinker stupid and sleepy."
(Lifted from the published diary of William Corbusier, an Army surgeon between 1868 and 1904.)

"Lager portions" -- very appropriate! :mrgreen: :tuba:

That's twice in 2 days I've messed up posts; Thursday I wrote "wife" for "wide: in a post on antique tractors, but as I told those guys, I never was good at proofreading my own writing.

Happy New Year to all.

Yep, same here It seems that as you "know" what you said, it is what you "read".

As long as you don't spill a tuba... :P

HNY!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
