I also like, "By order of the court." I use it when someone tries to get me to drink alcohol.

In the 90s a friend of mine mail ordered a sometimes-hilarious book of advice for dudes on basically How to be Cool and Manly.
Some of it genuinely useful like (paradoxically) not worrying too much about what other people thought of you, or studying hard at how to do things so you were actually competent at them. (So you both had skills to show off and naturally developed confidence). Or at-the-time pragmatic advice like buying an old used Corvette, because it and parts for it would be cheap compared to a new sports car, and you could learn to maintain and repair it yourself.

Some of the advice for how to conduct yourself at parties was a few good excuses if someone offered you cocaine and you didn't want it, including "No, sorry, the doc says I can't anymore with the skin grafts."

First response- "Sorry, I got a coke problem. Two nostrils and only one straw."

Second response- "Cocaine addiction is for poor people. Rich people blow their money on a MtG addiction."

Oh, this book was definitely from a time period predating M:tG, and in the window between when RPGs stopped being a cool thing you could do with college chicks and when they resumed being a cool thing you could do with college chicks.

Want to get high and blow literally all of your money?

Go racing. Bike or car; doesn't matter.

Wanna go back to my dorm room and roleplay?

Horses.

How expensive is it to get into horse racing? One of the illicit substances used to improve the horse's speed is cocaine. That's right, the drug that people joke about being for rich people is what you give to your pet - and it's not even the most expensive part of taking care of the race horse.

It's like finally getting rich enough to buy that house on a Cape Cod beach with a beautiful view of the private islands. Spending millions so you can look out the window each morning and see what it would be like to be really wealthy.

Not the only drug that people have given their horses. There's a reason why an expression exists that alludes to urinating like a competitive equine.

so you're saying the problem is people....we have now completed step one: Identify the problem.

As the prophecy foretold

Totally random note. The other day I had to research something I have never had to think about before.

What do you do when you win an appeal, and the lower court is just like, "Naw. Ima do what I want."

Obviously, this issue is covered, but I had never seen it actually happen. Feels like I should write a letter about it!

I mean, we can name at least one instance of U.S. history of the highest court in the land said something and the U.S. President was like "Naw. Ima do what I want".

That's how we got the Trail of Tears, btw
