This is a very fitting Friday quote - When I was young I would repeat this, simply because it was fun to say - never realising the implications to alchohol - or even wondering what a lobotmy was - it just rolls off the tongue and was good word play (the second lowest form of humour).
So when I finally came to the realization that it was about drinking - and a Brain Operation involving an ice pick that is inserted though yourt eye sockets, and severing the prefrontal cortex from the rest of the brain - I think that I almost rather do anything than let this happen - it was a treatment for those deemed to be too agressive, psychotic or criminally insane. Ironically the guy who came up with the procedure was shot to death by one of his patients - it only works in 1/3 of the cases, with symptoms getting worse in 1/3 of the cases and the final 1/3 of people have nothing to show for their efforts except a headache (I'm assuming) and some awful memories.
I once heard that God invented beer to stop Props (Rugby Position) from taking over the world - maybe beer is the liquid lobotmy then - because some people get slow, others get crazy and others don't seem to change at all, maybe they were just drunk to begin with...

Scotty, these are friggin' brilliant, but this might be one of the best...maybe because we don't hear it much...bring back the frontal lobotomy...and I think the person being drunk to start might be Izzy!!
