DEAR MISS MANNERS -- What is the proper etiquette for coping with a
circle of lime affixed to the rim of a margarita glass, or an orange on
a pina colada?
If you do nothing, it bumps your nose when you sip; if you detach it
and throw it into the drink, the glass often overflows. Putting it on
the table makes a mess -- in the ashtray it's worse. A true dilemma for
your tequila-loving readers. We need your advice.
GENTLE READER -- As you seem to have covered -- and rejected -- all the
possibilities except parking it behind your ear or throwing it over your
shoulder in exasperation (neither recommended), Miss Manners can only
suggest that you combine the options.
Take the fruit slice in one hand, the glass in another, and take a
sizable swig from the latter. Then throw the fruit into the drink where,
according to Archimedes' Principle, there will now be room for it to
displace some liquid without its making the drink overflow.
This tends not to work after the third drink. But by then, the
drinker is likely to be more interested in the possibility of wearing
the fruit slice as a nose decoration, anyway.

Perfectly Clear
President Reagan on civil defense, as quoted in Robert Scheer's book
With Enough Shovels: Reagan, Bush \& Nuclear War: "I think we're
going to have to start a civil defense program. I think -- see, they
violated and we kept to the premise that McNamara, in the original
getting together and what resulted in our doing away with our
antiballistic missile system, at a time when we were ahead of them in
technology on that."
