good-natured fun, which is all that this thread was.
IYHO, calling someone a falling-down drunk is "good natured fun"?

the notion that the most powerful man in the world can nearly be shuffled off this mortal coil by a pretzel is funny Agreed. and it it based on fact. But the above claims that said most-powerful man was falling-down drunk (to which my comments are explicitly directed) are IMHO not funny or good natured.
