Always Remember That Famous Philosopher... W. C. Fields:
- I drink therefore I am.
- I must have a drink of breakfast.
- Some weasel took the cork out of my lunch.
- Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.
- I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.
- There are only two real ways to get ahead today - sell liquor or drink it.
- Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.
- A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
- I never worry about being driven to drink; I just worry about being driven home.
- I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming, besides it rusts the pipes.
- Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
- Set up another case bartender! The best thing for a case of nerves is a case of Scotch.
- Sleep - the most beautiful experience in life - except drink.
- If I had to live my life over, I'd live over a saloon.
The wine tasting is working
Purple is the color of the day
Purple is a range of hues of color occurring between red and blue. In additive light combinations it occurs by mixing the primary colors red and blue in varying proportions. It is a secondary color because two colors (blue and red) make up this color.
In subtractive pigments it can be equal to the primary color magenta or be formed by mixing magenta with the colors red or blue, or by mixing just the latter two, in which case a color of low saturation will result. Low saturation will also be caused by adding a certain quantity of the third primary color (green for light or yellow for pigment).
There is a disagreement over exactly which shades can be described as purple, some people preferring more precise terms such as magenta or heliotrope for particular shades. A difference in retinal sensitivity to red and blue light between individuals can cause further disagreement.
In color theory, a "purple" is defined as any non-spectral color between violet and red (excluding violet and red themselves). The spectral colors violet and indigo are not purples according to color theory but they are purples according to common English usage since they are between red and blue.
