Yeah in retrospect that whole fantasy episode was a lot funnier in my own
head ;)

I implicitly understand the issue of Kuwait stealing oil from under Iraqi
territory...
I have to come clean and admit that whenever me and any of my girlfriends
did that cute picturesque thing where we shared a milkshake with a straw
each, that I purposely deformed my girlfriend's straw to create a finer
aperture, furthermore I held her side of the milkshake shaker when I
brought it to the table, thus warming it in relation to mine and reducing
the viscosity of the milkshake on that side, which I then proceeded to
insert my standard-aperture straw into, with the result that it was more
readily suckable and a larger amount could be consumed per period (x) of
time. I further admit that, to use somewhat common vernacular, I "sucked
really hard." Thus I afforded myself, through several forms of guile, a
disproportionate amount of milkshake, which with the benefit of hindsight
I truly regret, not the least for the ensuing milkshake headache and
resultant involuntary public gurning.
(In my defence, or mitigation, I have been larger than all of my
girlfriends and indeed have almost always purchased >=51% of any mutual
milkshakes)
