Ha, ha, ha, ha!  What a bozo!

Champagne is not about taste or quality.  It's about the visual,
auditory, and even tactile excitement that it produces.

Popping the cork is like setting off fireworks.  It creates a
veritable explosion.

The sight of the spewing and foaming contents is also a wonderful
visual experience, and usually, people are deliberately splashed
by the resulting fountain which causes further thrills.

Using spatially separated virtual terminals in a GUI is the best
