Really? That is news to me, and I am supposed to know the
constitution. Could you please either quote chapter and verse -- or
admit that you made it all up to win the argument?

I see. I volunteer for a bake sale, and my wife breaks her leg
and I do not show up, the church excommunicates me?

Glogg (a traditional Scandinavian holiday drink): fifth of dry red
wine fifth of Aquavit 1 and 1/2 inch piece of cinnamon 10 cardamom
seeds 1 cup raisins 4 dried figs 1 cup blanched or flaked almonds a
few pieces of dried orange peel 5 cloves 1/2 lb. sugar cubes Heat up
the wine and hard stuff (which may be substituted with wine for the
faint of heart) in a big pot after adding all the other stuff EXCEPT
the sugar cubes. Just when it reaches boiling, put the sugar in a
wire strainer, moisten it in the hot brew, lift it out and ignite it
with a match. Dip the sugar several times in the liquid until it is
all dissolved. Serve hot in cups with a few raisins and almonds in
each cup. N.B. Aquavit may be hard to find and expensive to boot. Use
it only if you really have a deep-seated desire to be fussy, or if you
are of Swedish extraction.
