I know it's not funny. I'm not saying I'm proud of the joke, or that it's any good, I just, y'know, wonder.

Y'know.

FWIW, I once was under the impression that I invented that sound that you make with your mouth if you kind of open it wide and then squeeze air through your throat, not a burp more a kind of raspy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sound.

I let it go after a few heated discussions at the age of 10.

Sort of like a Chewbacca noise?

No more like an extended croak that you change pitch by opening your mouth wider or closing it.

It's more monotone that chewbacca, think of going ahhhh but kind of like clicky in your throat, like you were gargling something, but not quite a gargle.

I wonder if that noise, uttered in a near-silent office, would be classed as a sackable offence...

Just as, you know, a throw-away thing, though friends found it amusing, and recounted it here and there.

Since then I've heard it told, maybe twice, by other people, in other parts of the world. And it freaked me out so much that I didn't say anything - you know: "What did you say? Fucking hell! That's my joke!"

Etc. It's not elegant.

So I've always wondered if:

a) I made it up and it just kinda spread, virally.
b) I made it up but other people had made it up as well.
c) My mind plays tricks on me and I just think I made it up, but I had actually heard it before.

What do you think.

Young me used to think this was amusing:

It can't play the piano.

Young me kind of sucked.

I made up

'Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a duck.
She put them on the mantelpiece,
to see if they would fall off'.

I don't suppose that was groundbreaking?

I used to drink tons of Dr Pepper but now I'm one of those (apparently) hated water drinkers.

Bottled water may not be healthier than tap water but I’m sure it's better than dr pepper. Then there’s the fact that when I’m thirsty and in town there generally isn’t a drinking water tap handily available for me to get a tap water from (and if there are some on the streets I don’t think I would particularly trust their cleanliness - just like I never really trusted the cleanliness of the water fountains at school).

When I’m at home I mostly do drink tap water, stored and chilled in the fridge because it's simply more refreshing cold.

I heard it also missed out the second part of the sentence and should have read something like: "Adults should consume 2 litres of water per day. Most of this will come from the food eaten and drinks consumed.". I had an argument with a colleague once who tried to tell me that she didn't drink tea, coffee or soft drinks because it wouldn't count towards her 2 litres of water per day. Numpty.

Caffeine is a diuretic but the amount of water in the cup of coffee is far greater than the extra it makes you pee. Net effect = hydration.

The people who believe all this misinformation fed to them really make me [Mad]

As for my drink of choice - A nice cold Sprite™

I thought coffee was an emetic, because it made you poop. However I have just googled the word 'emetic' to discover that, contrary to my misguided beliefs, an emetic is something that makes you vom, not poop. I am wrong and stupid. I have also for some reason woken up (mentally, not physically) in Scatalogical World (TM). I do hope this doesn't go on all day.

Originally I said Ribena but I've moved more towards either bottled water or Tropicana

Bottled water is good because it's exactly like water from the tap only it does much more damage to the environment!

no, because it's not a 'beverage', it's water.

I'm with the Diet Coke also. But the best version is probably original coke in the original style bottles, with a straw, in a beer garden, on a sunny late afternoon, whilst your parents are in the pub. Coupled with a packet of Cheese and Onion Crisps, a girl who is the daughter of your parent's friends who is nice and one of those plastic tree/slide/swing combos.

The best soft drink is probably GInger beer. It's delicious and has a delightful zing that I believe is supplied by the ginger. In pubs if not drinking I will often have a ginger beer with a bit of angostura bitters in it.
"Ginger Beer mmmmm mmmm" as they say in Hackney or "Ghinkanser Bier shlooom shlooo" as they say in Benelux. Either way it translates to the universal language of delicious.

ginger beer is possibly the gayest drink ever created.

can I still infer that you're gay even though you're a new dad?

Cherry 7up is my fizzy drink of choice, but not all newsagents sell it. Which is annoying. If I can't get Cherry 7up I buy fat Coca Cola instead.
