But was Socrates sober?

Posted by Janet W. on 2/22/2006, 9:49:51, in reply to "Re: I love dissent"
Remember the Bruce's philosopher's song? From Monty Python?

Yes, Socrates himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
but a bugger when he's pissed.

My family will always have a soft spot for Rene Descartes little ditty:

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart.
"I drink, therefore I am."
because our oldest son had to do a college entrance essay on "I think, therefore I am" and he closed with the immortal words of Monty Python and to this day, we're convinced that's what closed the deal :)
