*** 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.

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