special k: it’s been awhile since i’ve been involved in something “casual,” so I’m hoping that I remember how to do it.
z: yeah, cuz there are like, rules and stuff.
special k: uh, there are?
special k: i thought the casual meant there were no rules.
z: well, i mean, if you are wondering if you remember how to do it, then that means there are rules, right?
z: because if there weren’t, you wouldn’t worry about remembering because there wouldn’t be anything to remember.
special k: oh, you are right.
special k: there are rules. i just have to recall what they are.
z: yeah. like “no underwear in the dishwasher”.
z: or “always wipe your feet before going into the garage”.
special k: yeah! of course!
z: or “never have more than 5.25 drinks”.
z: “otherwise known as 5 and one quarter”.
special k: cause if you do, you are sleeping on the couch because it’s close to the toilet.

Is that a real rule, the five and a quarter rule? What a waste.

Yes, rule #307.14 clearly states that occasionally a gentleman will be called on to order “one last drink” beyond the allocated number of 5 as defined in rule #5x-72. However, a true gentleman will never consume more than 25% of said drink, and will leave the mostly consumed beverage on the table, along with 2 dimes and 3 pennies, in accordance with rule #49821, when it is time to depart. Refer to rules 6hu7-8s through 10-bajillion for guidance on the appropriate time.
