Some men flavor their ice water with lemon.

There are a subset of men dedicated to floating a piece of brick in their water glass. They claim it strengthens their kidneys. These men travel from village to village performing their brick floating trick in taverns and town squares for copies of the photographs amazed onlookers take.

Brief online research reveals a group of brothers from St. Louis that cut old t-shirts featuring looney tune characters into strips and float them in big pitchers of ditch water all July, then spend August inventing new colors during hallucinations the water produces.

These men can have their preferences, provided they keep to themselves.

I know what’s disintegrating in my drink:

A photo of Lenin and three pieces of the last space shuttle.
