Not That Thirsty

Theo: “Oh, yuck.” Lightfoot: ”Something wrong? ”
Theo: “Time to go for a soda run. All that’s left is this store-brand knock-off of Dr. Pepper.” Lightfoot: ”Is it really that bad?”
Theo: “Imagine a loganberry, mango, and chocolate fizz, in a dirty can lined with coconut and pine sap.” Lightfoot: ”I know something worse.” Theo: “Namely?”
Lightfoot: “Coke Zero.” Theo: “I’d switch to water, but fish function in it.”

Theo’s added comment is stolen, affectionately, from the great W. C. Fields. His original version of this quote was said only in private, since the word he used shared only the first two letters and was disallowed on radio, television (or anywhere else, at that time). He also had other reasons for not drinking water, including “That’s the stuff that rusts pipes” and “I’m afraid it might be habit-forming.” No wonder he drank whiskey neat.
