Beer will turn Men into Women
Bavarian Men might want to rethink their annual Oktoberfest revels in light of a new study elaborated upon below. One has to hope that this study is flawed, but the evidence seems irrefutable.
There's Trouble Brewing Guys
Several months ago, scientists at Europe's annual human reproduction conference suggested that the results of a recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption.
The theory states that drinking beer makes men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men were each fed 6 pints of beer within a one-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, had to sit down while urinating, couldn't perform sexually, and refused to apologize when wrong.
No further testing is planned.
1958: I was 13 years old and my mother returned from visiting her sisters in Poland with all sorts of Polish tzotchkes: hand-painted Easter eggs, Matryoshka dolls, and crystal ashtrays and vases. She also brought back Spiritus, which had 180 proof on the label. That's 90% alcohol. I saw her add it to orange juice once and so being the adventurous sort of idiot that I was, I uncorked the bottle one day and quickly downed a shot glass of it. I only remember not being able to catch my breath before I passed out on the floor. It must have been about 20 minutes later when I woke up with the most horrible case of dry-retching I ever had in my life. I wasn't drunk but I was deathly ill.
And so, I will never drink whiskey in my life. As I said, I may have one glass of wine now and then and if I do have a beer, I never have more than one, ever.

Here's a decent beer joke:
Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three.
Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals.
Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances. One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going idiot! Now we're going to have to piss in the boat!"
