Speaking of Beers
At a world brewing convention in the States, the CEO's of various brewing
organizations retired to the bar at the end of the first day's conference.
Bruce, CEO of Fosters, shouted to the barman: "In 'Strilya, we make the
best bladdy beer in the world, so pour me a bladdy Fosters, mate."
Bob, CEO of Budweiser, calls out next: "In the States, we brew the finest
beers of the world, and I make the king of them all, gimme a Bud."
Hans steps up next: "In Germany ve invented das beer, ferdamt. Give me
ein Becks, ya ist der real King of beers, danke."
Paddy, CEO of Guinness, steps forward: "Barman, would ya give me a diet
Coke wit ice and lemon. Tanks."
The others stare at him in stunned silence, amazement written all over
their faces.
Eventually Bruce asks: "Are you not going to have a Guinness, Pat?"
Paddy replies "Well, if you fookin' pansies aren't drinkin', then neither
am I!"

Fosters? Isn't that the muck we export so the foreigners don't hog our real beer?

The ratio of 300 to one is a bit hard to fathom. How could any establishment surrive with only 300 potential customers and half of them probably not of legal age.

Rubbish!!! There's nothing wrong with it. I've been drinking it for years and prefer it to almost anything except possibly a Crownie. Mind you, I will admit that no one pinches them at BBQ's. Originally Posted by Skew ChiDAMN!!
