assorted - sorted = under the influence of ecstacy,a s (first and last letters of acidosis - the "case")

[factor-fiction]

...and divers means assorted rather than people who go diving

I hadn't spotted the 'Sorted' meaning until roslyn mentioned it, but I remember now the old Pulp song

I like this extract from Wikipedia
"When the Shamen appeared on Top of the Pops, it was expected that Mr C should tone down the song due to its being broadcast. The group replaced the final lyrics: "Got any Salmon?" - with "Has anyone got any underlay?" The BBC were furious, and dragged Mr C into a room off-camera, to explain himself, only to be told that it was simply a gratuitous rug reference"
