Maybe this is where speech synthesis comes into play, because a logger might
drink a lager. You cannot hear the difference, because there isn't any
audible difference. Braille beats speech hands down.

Hi Tom.
logger? I thought a logger was someone who choppsed down trees.
I did check the spelling and I meant lager. I'm not sure of the
differences sinse I am quite aware lager is a type of beer, but often in
Britain beers and lagers are distinguished by those who drink them,
especially locally brewed beers and those who are in the real ale
briggade.
Don't ask me, on the rare occasions I do drink alcohol I much prefer a
good quality wisky or a propper dark rum, or indeed a decent coctale.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Me thinks you are a few cans short of a six pack yourself. I do not
intend to define what a few is since it is obvious it is more than one
and is less than six.
Plus logger, which you misspelled, is a type of beer. So listing beer
and logger in the same sentence is a bit redundant. Might have been
better to use ale instead as it is also a beer but a different type of
beer.
Cheers!

Hmmm, "A few cans short of a sixpack"
Well, sinse a sixpack by deffinition holds six cans, (whether of beer,
larga, coke or whatever), then how many is a few? it cannot be one sinse
the
words cans is used implying it is a plaural, however it cannot be two
sinse
there are already collective plaurals for two, eg, a pair, a couple
which
could've been used instead of the collective "A few"
If however it is three cans, then we run into a basic deffinitional
problem
sinse logically three is half of six and therefore "Half a sixpack"
however
by deffinition a half is a proportionately large amount, and therefore
the
categorical opposite of a few. So, is it indeed possible to be a few
cans
short of a sixpack? Perhaps it is this logical impossibility which
promotes
the metaphore for insanity, sinse by deffinition if nobody can ever be!
a
few cans short of a sixpack and yet someone is, it implies a severe
imbalance in the world sinse quantities with no deffinition have been
involved, hence why such people who might be described as "A few cans
short
of a sixpack" are seen as insane or mad, though whether they were mad
before
being described by such utterly nonsensical and mathematically
incomprehensible analogies or whether such analogies applied to them
have
caused a severe mentil disconnection from reality through being
described by
quantities that cannot possibly exist is not clear.
Disclaimer! the above analysis may well be a complete and utter load of
dingo's kidneys aand just exist for completely pointless amusement
value.
Dark.
