that you need it, you needed a word that specific ocase, a great swelling took around, took place round the ring, and he was unable to remove it. Seems like they used it metaphorically, because that's how he was using it, right? He was almost using it like one of these medicalthings.

Can i tell you an anecdote about politics, which is not french, but i can of, likeat a vote, so it is kindi related. So this is in 18 72, and there was a vote against the new zealand government, and it like it was going to come down to one vote. So this is, like, what do you call that when it's like, inconfidence of the government. So if they lose this, the government could fall. And it was going to come down to one vote. And one of the governing party called edward wakefield, was a massive drunk, ok? So his colleagues locked him in a room, and they took all his alcohol away from him, and they kept him in this room. And they said, right, we're gong to leave you there, nd, we're going to keep you ober, and then as soon as a vote starts, we'll let you out, and you can vote, and then you can do whatever you want, ok? So they put edward wakefield in this room, and the opposition learned about it, and so they lowered a bottle of whisky down the chim ha ha the room. Then he was in, he drank the whisky, and he was unable to vote. And the government of new zealand fell.
