*******s. The bar has nothing but good brands, four
single malts, three brands of absinthe, several cannabis beers and
wines. (clip)

I heard an interesting story involving absinthe and a Japanese fellow...

He was fond of his liquor, but it gave him terrible gas. Worse, it produced
not only audible borgorygmas but very large rectal emissions of some volume.

Needless to say, this embarrassed him a great deal, saving face, and all, so
he sought all the best medical help he could find. None of the Japanese
medical folks could think of anything which worked, despite lots of trying.
Some remedies gave him cramps (apparently subduing the rumblings) but didn't
diminish the noise nor size of the emissions.

Finally, one of the visiting American crews studying Japanese medicine
suggested he change from whatever he'd been drinking to absinthe. As
nothing else had worked, and it still allowed him to get his alcohol
jollies, he agreed to give it a try.

Sure enough, not only did his stomach settle down, but the volume of
emissions, while not gone, diminished greatly. Oddly enough, however, the
sound produced suspiciously resembled "Honda."

Ever the rigorous scientists, they had the guy stop with the absinthe, and
return to his original poison. Sure enough, stomach rumblings returned,
and, in his full glory, his output resembled something akin to a heavy truck
using downhill engine braking.

Back to the absinthe, stomach settled, but, still slightly windy, and, still
curiously, it sounded like "Honda!"

The American, who'd not been involved other than sort of a consultant, when
he he heard of it, wasn't the least bit surprised, though he was feeling
somewhat chuffed for having solved the gastric discomfort.

When asked why he was so sure it would work, and why he wasn't surprised at
the end (pardon the expression [pardon the expression]) result, he said...
