The drink makes me wobbly. 
Editor's note:  As we've already established, these are Captain Mike's captions and I've been copying them verbatim with only a little help here and there.  But in this case maybe I've taken too much liberty by writing "wobbly" instead of the Captain's original "wabbly."  See, I don't know what "wabbly' means.  Maybe it's a nautical term I'm unfamiliar with?  Probably.  It's just that Diane doesn't look wabbly to me.  Sorta wobbly, though.  Maybe it's Rick who's the wabbly one?  Good old wabbly Rick.  OK, enough of this; back to Captain Mike's captions.
