The members of ZZ Top live near me. (But I've yet to run into any of them.)

If I wanted to go out in disguise I'd put on a fake beard and glasses. Probably a dodgey hat too. What the hell do ZZ top do?

Believe it or not, in the area I live they look fairly normal... Especially at the biker bars.

An almond does, in fact, come from the center of a peach.

No it doesn't. It comes from a relative to the peach. The outer fruit is mouth-puckeringly sour. I've tried one!
Amaretti biscuits, on the other hand, are made not from almonds, but from peach kernels.
I know a great trick involving setting fire to an amaretti wrapper and making it fly.

Amaretti biscuits and bitter almonds are bitter because they contain Hydrogen Cyanide.

It wouldn't be the one involving a £5 note, would it? I've seen that one done in an Italian restaurant.

Maker the paper into a cylinder and stand it up. Set fire to the top. It will burn for a while before shooting up into the air.
I'd suggest trying it at around the same time as a couple of flaming sambucas.
WARNING! Do not try flaming sambucas while drunk. It sticks to the skin like napalm.

How to drink a flaming Sambucca when drunk:
1. Tilt head back and open mouth wide.
2. Allow someone to pour Sambucca into mouth.
3. Allow person to set fire to Sambucca.
4. Swallow.
You can dispense with the coffee bean for this method, you'll only choke on it or something.

Lick your lips with the Sambuca first and it's easier for the person to set you.. I mean it on fire.
