From Paris

Post by Andrew (imported) »

Absinthe is a liqueur distilled from wine and wormwood ( a substance

used in the treatment of intestinal worms ). Although aniseedy and

pleasant to the taste, it is incredibly potent and capable of causing

brain damage. It is also reputed to have aphrodisiac qualities.

in 1949 Jean-Pierre Lecoq was found deftly dismembered behind a

back-street bar in the Pigalle district of Paris. At the inquest it

transpired that he was murdered by persons unknown, seemingly in

revenge for his dishonest habit of getting the local streetwalkers so

drunk on the dreaded absinthe, that they let him have his way for

nothing.

only goes to show

Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.
