A Monday Panzerism

Panzer on how to tell when you've had enough catnip:

 

 1. Try this test: You know how sometimes color makes noise and the noise floats around like a rainbow? 

If you don't see it yet ... Then you haven't had enough.

 

2. Try this test: Count from zero to one by whole numbers.

If you keep losing your place and have to keep starting over ... Either that''s enough ... or ... You need a nap.

It's never enough.*

 

3. Finally ... Try this test:  Roll around in a pile of catnip.

And ... If suddenly this thing appears behind you ... And ... Starts following you everywhere you go ... Oh! ... Wait! ... That tail thingy has nothing to do with catnip. ... Keep rolling.
