A little comic relief

As a break from all the serious debate going on around here lately, and because I know at least a few folks here enjoy a pint now and then =;^) I thought I’d forward this…

Oh Loren

Your attempt at humour is deservedly welcomed but did you have to tell the complete story of my woe begotten youth.

Yes it did get heavy on this board, I cancelled a rant three times and left it at that. Never thought of humour maybe some sarcasim.

Thanks again

Back in the day, I was stationed in Germany, hanging out with the boys at a local beer (bier) fest tent drinking beer from those obscene 1 liter glass mugs. I had had enough and was ready to walk home. I didn’t want to finish the remaining cup or so left in the mug, so I casually put it under the long wood picnic table and poured it out onto the ground. This guy sitting across from me puts his head up with a wild look in his eye and yells, “Hey! Somebody just poured beer on my foot.” I looked at him like he wasn’t making any sense. I suspect he wasn’t sure if he was or not, so I slid out of my seat and headed home to bed.

Loren,

That was great. Copied it to the lads in the office and they all appreciated it as well.

Thanks for sharing,

A

Is it a mere coincidence that Loren posted this on the same day that the annual list of the top ten party schools came out? I think not. Ah, the joys of a barely remembered youth!

Uhh, no comment.

Chuck, don’t you mean “The joys of a BARLEY remembered (or perhaps forgotten) youth?” :slight_smile:

Mark: Well I wasn’t going to mention any names…but you’ve spelled the beans now.

Tony: Tony, Tony, Tony…

A: I’m sure the boss appreciates your efforts to improve productivity. :slight_smile: Glad I could help.
