Your comment about water reminded me of a funny story:
And elderly Chabad’zke was told by his doctor that the cough he has is “water on the lungs”.
“Water? When did I last drink water?” he thinks to himself.
Oh, he realizes, It must be the 4% they mix into “zeks-un-ninziger” (for those not familiar with Chabad, behind Absolut, the drink of choice is a local brew which is 96 proof, or 48 percent alcohol)
