I will start: Low-piss beer. The problem with beer is, you go to a sports bar to have a pitcher with your friends and watch a game or a race, and the winning touchdown or the pass for the win always happens while you're in the men's room. We need a beer that doesn't do that to you.
It would help if it didn't also taste like piss.

... what HAD been the oldest covered bridge in Pennsylvania (the bridge was still there,
but the "covered" part had been gone for some time).
.
This bar, probably back in the 30's or even farther back, used to be men only in the bar --
though women could sit in the parlor or the dining room. It had a big rectangular bad and
it used to have a slightly inclined small trough with running water that circled the bar.
.
If you had to go, you simply stood up (or sat forward) and urinated in place. I think it also
served a dual purpose as a spitoon.
.
This was not a common feature, but not an unheard of facility in a number of stag bars
from the 19th century on.
.
The trough was "gone", though the bar DID have a footrest that might have been put
in place to conceal it.

(36,458 posts)The nickel today is not what it was fifteen years ago. Do you know what this country needs today? A seven-cent nickel. Yessiree, weve been using the five-cent nickel in this country since 1492. Now thats pretty near a hundred years daylight saving. Now, why not give the seven-cent nickel a chance? If that works out, next year we could have an eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back again. One nickel carefully used would last a family a lifetime!
