Doh!!

What's the connection between this Laurel and Hardy clip in which the boys try to buy a round of soda for 4 when they only have money for 3, and the Ibicenco restaurant custom of offering clients a free shot of spirits or schnapps after their meal?



The answer is that I have a Hardyesque frustration with Jaki who doesn't like spirits and despite my request that she accepts their offer and has exactly what I'm having so that I can drink both 'chupitos.'

last night in Es Ventall when they said 'and what will you have Jaki?' she said, 'none for me thanks, I'm driving.'

Doh!

And now a quiz for all the old folk who read this.

What's the name of the Scottish soda fountain barman whose catchphrase 'Doh!' is now used by Homer Simpson?????
