"...you're just renting it from me."

Over the weekend, my brother brought up _Willy Wonka_ in conversation, so naturally I had to show him "Wasted Talent"... so we and my roomate laughed our asses off last night while watching it, and then puzzled over Pawtucket Pat's line:

"Though the beer may be free, you're just renting it from me."

Considering that the rest of the "Pure Inebriation" song is so strong, we didn't understand how that writers could have finished it off with that weird not-so-funny line, unless we're missing something. Is it a reference to urination (what goes in must come out)?

I figure its a urination joke, since beer goes through your system faster then most things, you usually leave most of the beer you bought at the bar in the restroom. I thought it was pretty funny. Scott "Warren Bloom" wrote in message news:[email]...

Yep. It's an old pub joke, btw.

Or is it an old pube joke?

on a side note, i heard that the UN is demanding that Wonka submit to UN inspections of his factory.
