the last thing any of us is likely to do

There are a lot of candidates. Drink a Malibu & Coke? Seduce the bearded woman? Eat broccoli? (Certain exceptions apply.) Yoga? A colonic cleansing? Fire eating? Important advances in particle physics? Anything tantric? Win a non-physics Nobel Prize? Botany? Recite War & Peace? Write a new and better translation of War & Peace? Obey every law in Leviticus? Support the strikers? Approve of Microsoft’s silly ribbons, or Mac OS Lion’s changing files without the consent of the user? Approve of the auction mechanism used by most sovereign debt managers; or of the Bank of England’s implementation of monetary policy? (Version ℵ₃+1,756,000 having been published today.) Decline a pint of good ale?

I have done three of these things. If anyone can name all three in a single guess I will order the cheapest steak at TSE the next time we are there.

Eat broccoli
Decline a pint of good ale
Eat fire

For whom will you order the cheapest steak?

Eat broccoli
Decline a pint of good ale
Eat fire

I have never eaten fire {unless drinking Hutcheson 1970 counts?}

For whom will you order the cheapest steak?

Jacob.

Hey, it was either that or the bearded lady. Which would you prefer I chose?

Jacob.

So the cheapest steak being the item on the menu called "side salad"?

If I have ever seduced a bearded woman she must have had a shave shortly before I met her. But not that.

No. It's the Vegetarian Sirloin Tart @ £11.95 (medium-rare).

It's the Vegetarian Sirloin

This is redundant. Sirloin comes from a cow. Cows are vegetarians. Ergo, sirloin is vegetarian. Q.E.D.

I can't be held responsible for the menu at TSE.

I can't believe that you think I would ever have drunk Malibu & Coke. Wrong.

Not even once as a drunk teenager? Not once?
