Re: Kaio Last Basho, Re: Yokozuna Dejima?

Dear Garyu,

While in Las Vegas, I shaved every morning then lost $$$ that day. 
One morning I forgot to shave then hit three big jackpots.  Not
shaving brings "luck?"  I don't think so.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc?  Not so

A small drink daily is good for the cardio-vascular system.  Is that
all that Kaio drinks?  If not, then drinking is BAD for his athletic
performance.  True, withdrawal from alcoholic dependence can
be temporarily bad for athletic performance.  In the long run,
however, heavy usage of alcohol is a LOSING way of life, whether in
athletics or whatever.

End of sermon on the mouth ... er, mount.
