Portrait of a liver

     "I've a headache."

    "I thought you would have, laddie, when I saw you getting away with the liquid last night. An X-ray photograph of your liver would show something that looked like a crumpled oak-leaf studded with hobnails. You ought to take more exercise, dear heart. Except for sloshing that policeman, you haven't done anything athletic for years."

(from A Damsel in Distress, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
