"Beer is Proof that God Loves us
and wants us to be happy" - Benjamin Franklin

What a statesman! Can anyone question what that forefather meant?

2. Beer Is Good
Hi Chief,
One of my favorite blues artists, Popa Chubby, does a song "Sweet Goddess Of Love And Beer". What more do you need?

4. I'm reading "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life" right now.
Franklin was an incredible figure--writer, politician, statesman, scientist, pariot, philosopher, gourmand, and just generally a man who lived his life to the fullest.

To Franklin! :toast:

13. He did, and he authored the statement, "Fart Proudly".
All that and the best sense of humor in US history. Ben Franklin was a fine, foxy poppa, and I'm still searching for a man who in any way resembles him!!!!

To Franklin!

12. man made beer, God made pot
who do you trust?

That was from a bumpersticker I saw once. Vonnegut wrote that "alcohol is actually a depressant, but poor people everywhere will never stop hoping that it isn't"

Simple recipe for instant a$$hole - take one human being and add alcohol.

Bartender says: "superman, you can be a real pi$$er when you're drunk"

"70% of sexual assaults on college campuses involve alcohol"
