i have a drinking problem, i admit. it is that i am all out of beer, and with no money to buy more, i am left to think about drinking beer... now, what greater tool for thought is there than the mind of another? so, i will use this tool to think, some of my greatest thoughts come that way i admit. on this topic these thoughts spring to mind:

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer."
-Abraham Lincoln

"Make sure that the beer - four pints a week - goes to the troops under fire before any of the parties in the rear get a drop."
-Winston Churchill to his Secretary of War, 1944

"Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world."
-Kaiser Wilhelm

Ah yes, the wartime leaders speak on the value of beer, not to be underestimated in times of crisis. Now for the comedians:

"He was a wise man who invented beer."
-Plato

"I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer."
-Homer Simpson

"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer."
-Dave Barry

sigh... so true.
