That reminds me of an old joke: a guy runs into a bar, and shouts at the
bartender: "Quick, hit me with a shot, before it starts again!". The
bartender pours a shot, and the guy downs it, and yells: "Quick, another
one, before it starts!", and the whole thing repeats a few times. Then
the bartender asks: "Wait, are you going to pay for these?" and the guy
says with a long face: "There, I knew it was going to start again!"...
