''Everything'' on the [[cocktail napkin]] goes ''before'' the “but” — that is its very definition — but here it contains all the distilled, unvarnished essence of your engagement. It is the ''antithesis'' of bullshit. At the exact point where the napkin ends — its torn & lipstick-smudged edge — ''that'' is where the “but” begins. But note the rude inversion: this time, it is everything that comes ''after'' the “[[cocktail napkin|but]]” — and make no mistake, ''torrents'' will come after it — that will be bullshit.
