Searching For Uses For Water

be abolished.
We refuse to be excited at the prospect.
What is water?
It flows under bridges, washes necks, makes a strange beverage known as tea, has its use for shaving purposes, etcetra, etcetera, etcetera.
Millions of germs lurk in water.
Before it can become safe for drinking purposes it must be boiled, filtered, chlorinated, and bacteriologically tested.
After all this it should be poured down the sink, and the whisky should be taken with just a tiny dash of soda or neat.
We were three months old when we first objected to water. However, WC recall with some grim satisfaction that we had our revenge on the parson.
We must be fair to water, however. Our projudice against it is not altogether cock-eyed. For instance, wo recognise that water is vitally necessary to the British Navy, which would not be able to invoke the Escalator Clause if it had no water to sail upon..
Fish also seem to thrive in it, and it is a handy part of the world to be seasick in if you are travelling across it.
Oxford have even bean known to win a Boat Race on water. We are not very keen on this subject.
