Apologies Paulh@31 is an edit of@28, so my vote for 28 should go to 31

Faiton #12 made me laugh, gets my vote.

Since I used to drink it now and again.

Tyke51 #21

Like buddy @his eventual 27, faiton @16 but vote for jafo@13. I like the topicality and neat use of 'about'.

With mathprofrockstar and buddy still to vote, we have paulH with 4 votes, jafo and faiton with 2 votes each, and jono and tyke51 with 1 vote each. Not quite a done deal, yet!

Buddy @27 gets my vote for sheer perseverance.
