Bond followed the Negro across the slippery concrete floor to a wooden bench alongside a pair of dilapidated shower cubicles in one of which a naked body hung with mud was being hosed down by a man with a cauliflower ear, “Be right with you,” said the Negro casually, his big feet slapping against the wet floor as he sauntered off about his business. Bond watched the huge rubbery man, and his skin cringed at the thought of putting his body into the dangling pudgy hands with their lined pink palms. Bond had a natural affection for coloured people, but he reflected how lucky England was compared with America where you had to live with the colour problem from your schooldays up. He smiled as he remembered something Felix Leiter had said to him on their last assignment together in America. Bond had referred to Mr. Big, the famous Harlem criminal, as “that damned friend of the family.” Leiter had picked him up. “Careful now, James,” he had said. “People are so drat sensitive about colour around here that you can't even ask a barman for a jigger of rum. You have to ask for a jegro.” The memory of Leiter’s wisecrack cheered Bond up. duTrieux. fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jun 28, 2011 |

Anybody can make the drink, and anyone can modify and improve on the recipe as long as they, too, license their recipe under the GNU General Public License. Since recipes are, by themselves, not copyrightable, the legal basis for this is untested.[1] you can almost taste the crippling asperger's
