The scientific explanation is probably simply that because neither of you are likely to be prolific brat-breeders, you probably have the disposable income to try the odd drop of malt on a more regular basis than those besotted with rugrats.....
Which is entirely understandable.
But tonguing wood ash...? I'll leave that particular recreation to you to enjoy, if you have no objection.
Now I'll probably be on the receiving end of some bible-bashing, god-bothering fundamentalist claptrap - but for rather different reasons. Anyway, if Big G is so all-knowing, one question:
Why the wasp?
I mean, just what was he/she thinking of that fine day up in Heaven when he/she suddenly thought "Hmm, haven't created much today. Just a few rodents and the odd bird or two... Wait a moment! I know - I'll create an infuriating, useless and totally irrelevant creature with which to annoy Man. I shall call it the wasp!"
And lo! It came to pass.....
Thanks a whole bunch, God.
