Naw, but I had the T-Shirt for that one, courtesy of a trip thru
Colorado and a stop at the Durango-Silverton rail gift shop.

Uzbekistan, or maybe it was Kajekistan, well it was probably one of
those _stan countries, aspired to becoming a First World country. They
looked around and found that a common factor was that most of the First
World countries made "beer". Though they, like any other civilization
had long ago discovered how to get alcohol, that you could drink -
without dying as a result - they had know idea what this "beer" was to
taste like.

So they put their best alcohol makers on the task. Six months later
each had a batch of what they believed to be this "beer" stuff.
Unfortunately, no one had any idea what beer was supposed to taste like.

So, they sent samples of their "beer" to a chemist in Germany for
analysis (who knows more about beer than the Germans?) for analysis.

One month later they got the results.

"Dear Sir/Mam:

We received your samples, have anayzed them and
- we regret to inform you
that your horse is anemic.

Do you have a similar problem with eating spicy food too? I find as I
get older and my palate isn't as sharp as it used to be, that I
gravitate towards the spicier foods. But, I also find that I'm now
prone to more stomach irritation I used to.

Getting old(er) sucks!

I've got a faulty esophagus so I'm not supposed to drink alcohol. But as
my gut guy is Irish, he says it's OK to cheat on occasion. I'm trying to
hold occasion down to once a month, but it's difficult :-).

Here's to the brew you can't see through,
as black as a witch's cat.
If the porter's run out I'll have a stout,
straight from the brewers tap.

Light beer is very popular with tourists here in Mexico because the alcohol
content of light is just a tad less than regular gringo beer..
"Normal" beer here is in the 4. 5 to 5. 5% range..

Ah, yes! Back in the days when I still drank Porter was easily my
favorite with Stout a close second. A friend of mine did a lot of
homebrewing and made some of the most incredible Porters I ever drank.
Sometimes I almost miss booze....

I had to quit drinking anything over 90 proof, anything higher was causing
bad behavior.
