SERIOUS BEER CYCLE

Drinking milk(dairy products) is not good for adults according to some vegetarians. Coca-Cola is also part of the no no's to children because of the high cafeine and sugar conent. Beer, some say, is only good for washing your hair.
It seems that the only healthy product on the photo is the drip !

BEER DRINKING JESTS

BEER BY SEVEN YEAR OLDS

A handful of 7 year old children were asked: 'What they thought of beer'.

'I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks the prettier my mom gets.' --Tim, 7 years old'Beer makes my dad sleepy and we get to watch what we wanton television when he is asleep, so beer is nice. ' --Mellanie, 7 years old 'My Mom and Dad both like beer. My Mom gets funny when shedrinks it and takes her top off at parties, but Dad doesn't think this isvery funny.' --Grady, 7 years old''My Mom and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more they
drink the more they give kisses to each other, which is a good thing.' --Toby, 7 years old'My Dad gets funny on beer. He is funny. He also wets his pants
sometimes, so he shouldn't have too much. --Sarah, 7 years old'My Dad loves beer. The more he drinks, the better he dances.
One time he danced right into the pool.' --Lilly, 7 years old'I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it,he burns the sausages on the barbecue and they taste disgusting.' --Ethan, 7 years old'I give Dad's beer to the dog and he goes to sleep.' --Shirley, 7 years oldAND THE BEST RESPONSE'My Mom drinks beer and she says silly things and picks on my father.
Whenever she drinks beer she yells at Dad and tells him to go buryhis bone down the street again, but that doesn't make any sense.' --Jack, 7 years old

Isn't it comforting to know that when you are about to become a bears breakfast your co-worker is standing there taking photos.

DE BEER'S FIRST CAR

This old car was the very first car that the citizens of Kimberley, (Northern Cape, South Africa) saw. The De Beer's Diamond Consolidated Mines bought this Panhard and Levarssor Light for their general manager which is on exhibition at the Open Mine Museum. I posed next to this beautiful old car to publish it on my Blog as for interest sake.
