I have this other story sitting next to the typewriter on my desk about a girl being roofied. The joke about Andy fetching his roofies was more or less a slight reference to that story. As was the taxi stopping at the pub. I know this reply is kinda pointless but I like explaining things even when they don't need to be explained.

The issue is the audience has none of this information (or has likely not read the story siting by your typewriter on this medium to make that connection/understand that reference.) so its inclusion feels really out-of-place.
