*** A bilingual pun, but it only secondarily refers to Aral's drinking.
It mostly refers to Aral's sailing. Note the context of the scene, Aral
laying the sails of his small boat out on the grass to dry. Then think
about how they got that way...
Although I suppose I really shouldn't have expected the bulk of the
readership, who likely don't have small boat sailing experience, to have
gotten that one. Hm.
Ta, L.

I thought it was pretty funny, and didn't like Michael Hansen's rendition of
it as Souse-low.
