Basil Jaak was a notorious alcoholic and after a few cups of sober-up tea, he was fairly sober. He got up and wanted to leave.
"Fairy Powell, can I borrow a car?" Basil asked Mamie Powell.
Mamie Powell scratched her head and said: "Jaak, you're not thinking of driving, are you?"
Basil chuckled, implying that he indeed intended to drive.
Mamie Powell hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You've drunk so much, you can't drive no matter what. Let me take you home."
Basil laughed, "Fairy Powell, didn't you have a drink too?"
"Ah...then I'll send someone to drive you home," Mamie Powell replied to Basil.
Basil replied, "Thank you very much then."
"Don't mention it", Mamie Powell replied with a slight smile, "let me see you out."
Mamie extended her arm to Basil, trying to support his arm, but suddenly, she staggered and plunged into his arms, crashing into his chest.
