![]() ![]() I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder. ![]() You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha.Īnd to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned. Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. IT HAS WORKED!
