What is sea level? - The complexity of an apparently easy question

The correct answer to the question is that sea level varies depending on the level of one inebriation.

Many people think that when they observe an intoxicated person vomit it is because the body is attempting to get rid of the alcohol.In truth the vomiting is merely a method by which the brain can measure what the sea level is by measuring the time span between expulsion and contact with the ground.The more intoxicated a person becomes the more often they have to take a measurement.Sometimes it is necessary to get closer to the ground to acquire a more accurate measurement.

Now that I'm aware that I'm on an elliptoid oblate spinning sphere I've amended all documents pertaining therof to my height to state 6' instead of 5' 9&3/4" (about two hands) as it is more appealing to women generally to think of their men as 'handsome six footers' as opposed to 'seemly dwarves' they can make do with until Mr Wonderful enters their lives...

I am totally going to remember this and use it on a few people I know.

But I think the interaction with the set level of a porcelain receptacle may influence the measurement?
