A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A woman with dark curly hair and a yellow shirt talks to a blue-haired woman in glasses, saying, "Whenever I'm happy I want three times as much of everything." Panel 2: She continues, "It's a shame there isn't a unit of measurement that describes a small amount normally but a large amount when you're really excited." The blue-haired woman smiles. Panel 3: Both women sit in silence, looking thoughtful. Panel 4: At a bar, the blue-haired woman stands, points up triumphantly, and exclaims, "Barkeep! One dicksworth of vodka, please!" The joke: she invents the requested unit of measurement, but it's a crude one that means a small amount normally and a large amount when excited. Votey: a simple black-and-white line drawing of a tall glass of vodka sitting on a bar, with a person's face in profile beside it.
