Famous Belgian Proverbs (you know, to keep it all themey like)

For MGD ~ God heals, but the doctor gets paid. (cha!)

For ALL ~ What you say when you're drunk should have been thought about beforehand.

and for ME ~ Don't make use of another's mouth unless it has been leant to you.

I'll raise a glass to lending our mouths to each other,

the pissed liBEERian

awwwwwww! it's okay to throw up in your mouth, i kinda did.
