A couple of years ago in a Brocante in the Auvergne I found an old bowl with a wonderful French motto printed on it.

“Il y a plus de vieux ivrognes que de vieux médecins.”

I couldn’t resist it and bought it for my doctor.
He being a good sport as well as a good friend proudly uses it every time he has company.
The quotation is, I have discovered, from Gargantua by Francois Rabelais.
It translates as;

“There are more old drunks than old doctors”
