No need for any assumptions at all. I can confirm absolutely and without a shadow of doubt that I was asking the people of the PDML to send me an olive so that I could travel to the constellation of Cassiopeia, on my own (except for the aforementioned olive and an extremely large cocktail glass) and drink the 463 million km of free ethanol to be found there. Luckily for me, before I had even pulled on the gloves of my space suit and fired up the engine of my rocketship, Don Williams pointed out that ethanol is dangerous. So I've changed my mind I and won't be going there after all. However, I'm a generous spirit, and liberal with it, so if anybody else wants to avail themselves of the said alcohol, they're quite welcome. I have not staked a claim on it. CHILDREN OF THE PDML! Some of you may have decided that you'd like some of that free booze for yourself and your little chums. Take my advice. By the time you get there you may still be below the legal age for drinking alcohol in your community - don't drink it without permission from your parents. And never drink ethanol in your home constellation.
