I was emptying a bottle of something... could have been olives in my defense... or denial, placing the empty bottle with my pile of bottles at the bottom of the bar made me think, I probably need to hide those empty bottles lest someone think I am an Alcoholic.
As a student of Irony, you should realize.... well maybe you are not a student of irony... but you should realize this is exactly what an alcoholic does. Maybe I can tell you that I'm not because I realize my behavior is alcoholic like.... Maybe I can tell myself the same thing.
