Just a little levity in our dour times
"If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.
If you bought $1000 worth of actual Budweiser brew one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit you would have $79.(applicable in western states)
Lesson: Start drinking heavily."

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."--Jack Handy

Beer after sport 'is good for the body'
Last Updated: 5:01pm GMT 01/11/2007
A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water.
Prof Manuel Garzon, of Granada University, also claimed the bubbles in beer help to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help to replace lost calories.
Prof Garzon asked a group of students to do strenuous exercise in temperatures of around 40ºC (104ºF). Half were given a pint of beer, while the others received the same volume of water.
Prof Garzon, who announced the results at a press conference in Granada beneath a banner declaring "Beer, Sport, Health", said the hydration effect in those who drank beer was "slightly better".
Juan Antonio Corbalan, a cardiologist who worked formerly with Real Madrid football players and Spain's national basketball team, said beer had the perfect profile for re-hydration after sport.
He added that he had long recommended barley drinks to professional sportsmen after exercise.
Beer is casual, low maintenance, down to earth. Approach her by challanging her to a game of pool.
Blender Drinks is flaky, whiney, annoying, a pain in the ass. Avoid this type unless you want to be her cabana boy.
Mixed Drinks is older, more refined, high maintenance, picky, exactng. Your approach--you don't have to approach her. If she like you she will send you a drink.
White Zinfandel is easy. THINKS she is classy but actually has no clue. Your approach--make her feel smarter than she actually is which is'nt difficult.
Shots is looking to get totally drunk--and naked. Approach--easiest one in the place. You have been blessed this evening. Nothing to do but wait but don't piss her off.
Tequila---no explanation you know what I mean?
IF a gentlemen's choice is:
Domestic beer. He is poor and wants to get laid.
Imported beer. He has some discretionary income and wants to get laid.
Wine. He trying to put on a sophisticated image and wants to get laid
Whiskey. He doen't care about anything but getting laid.
White Zinfindel. He is gay--very very gay and wants to get laid.
Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles
on their faces. After he determines the cause of death, the coroner
calls the police to tell them what has happened.
"First body was that of a Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while
making love to his mistress. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector,"
the Coroner says.
"Second body was an Irishman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the
lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence
the smile."
"What of the third body?" asked the Inspector.
"Ah," says the coroner, "this is the most unusual one. He was the
smartest prop on the local rugby team, only 30 years old, struck by
lightning."
"Why is he smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.
"Thought he was having his picture taken," the coroner replied.
Scientists for Health UK suggested that, considering the results of a
recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer,
men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The
theory is that beer contains female hormones (as hops contain
phytoeostrogens) and drinking it may turn men into women.
To test the theory, 100 men were given 6 pints of beer each to drink
within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men
gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly
emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over
nothing, refused to apologize when obviously wrong, and had to sit
down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary.
