it's been hectic

Two things.

Firstly, the other day I was curled up in a chair, a book in one hand, a pen in the other, and a cup of tea in front of me. In due course, desiring the aforementioned cup of tea, I put the pen in my mouth to free a hand to pick up the cup of tea so I could drink it. Ten points for identifying the problem that rapidly transpired.

Secondly, according to a plant geneticist who has recently made my acquaintance, if sufficiently massive quantities of iceberg lettuce are forcefully condensed, the residual substance will be cocaine. Someone with access to a continent-sized iceberg lettuce plantation must, MUST verify this and let me know immediately.
