For poisoning, we have some local fare. Please, one orderly line.

Wait, since when does Chris not like sweet wines? What's up with all the Sauternes he's opened over the years? Was it a clever ploy to use up wines he hated?

I'm not Sharon, and I don't presume to speak for her, but what I think she was trying to do there was to set up a logical conundrum in the mind of the reader by, in a whimsical fashion, assuming a pretended ignorance of my well-known predilection for sweet wines, and using that pretended ignorance to create a slightly absurd situation in the reader's train of logic; i.e., we think "But wait, Chris DOES like sweet wines, so if that's the only thing standing in the way of his being perfect, then..." and so on, to the logical and highly amusing conclusion.
 
One backs away from such a lofty task as a dog from a boiling pit of water, or some such image.

OK. I would, but damn, it would take a bit of time.

It takes practice. Start by inventing something easy, say a small gelatinous creature of some kind, then work your way up.
