 I was going to respond to your Alt with the hilariously self-contradictory "I'm not going to dignify this with a response"
	I was going to respond to your Alt with the hilariously self-contradictory "I'm not going to dignify this with a response"but Monty has provided a response which actually sums up pretty well what I would have said, were I to dignify it with a response.
Ironically, this response to Monty's response has taken up much more of my time and thought than my original idea for a response, or should I say non-response, would have.

 Real answer
	Real answerOn Monday me and another person took some drugs which he found on the floor of the bogs in the pub. I knew it wasn't cocaine, MDMA or amphetamine because of the smell and texture, but I had a go anyway, despite it being potentially lethal, my being a dad, it being a Monday and my being nearly 40.
