     Well now, ain't that just the cat's pajamas! It's so dang   
     typical of a German fella to say, "Cameriere! Le vin a   
     pris le goût du bouchon !" that I'm just plumb inclined to   
     ignore that ill-fitting "ißt" (in German, one "trinkt" wine,   
     one does not "ißt" it) and say, "Why, it's cork!".
