What is "joyous afterstool"??Well, Mei-mei always used to have joyous afterstools...
or, better
What do you have to say about "joyous afterstool"?
[Update: I was thinking of what A Christmas Carol would sound like if Fred's greeting to his uncle were changed (apologies to the Ghost of Charles Dickens):
And at this point, I think I'd better stop...]'A joyous afterstool, uncle! God save you!' cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge's nephew, who came upon him so quickly that this was the first intimation he had of his approach.
'Bah!' said Scrooge, 'Humbug!' ...
'Afterstool a humbug, uncle!' said Scrooge's nephew. 'You don't mean that, I am sure?'...
'Don't be cross, uncle.' said the nephew.
'What else can I be,' returned the uncle, 'when I live in such a world of fools as this? Joyous afterstool! ... If I could work my will,' said Scrooge indignantly,'every idiot who goes about with 'Joyous afterstool' on his lips, should be boiled with his own...'
