Oh, now switching to Schlitz!
The beer that made Milwaukee flatulent.
Nah - that would be Pabst Red, white and blue

That's probably what Uncle Russ had in mind.
We were going fishing once and he pulled in front of a liquor store
and handed me 10 bucks.
"Get a case of cheap beer and some ice."
I went in and the cheapest I saw was Canadian Ace.
When we got to the boat we started putting the beer and ice in the
cooler.
"What the hell!! Canadian Ace?!?!?" he says.
"You told me to get cheap beer," says I.
He just looked at me and shook his head.

Around here, liquor stores compete to see who can sell crappy beer at
the lowest price. Miller Lite seems to be the "leader." I have a buddy
whose favorite is Miller Lite and he offers me a can from time to time.
I tried it once, and thought it the most awful concoction that ever bore
the name "beer." But it is a big seller.

I never could figure out why anybody would drink "lite" beer.
But as you say, they do. Sometimes it's a problem for me on
a picnic where whoever brings the beer gets nearly all "lite."
I might have one of the few non-lites then switch to soda.
Better anyway, since daytime beer drinking in the sun ends up giving
me a headache if I drink more than one or two.

Dammitt, Dammitt, Dammitt... Long story short, Mrs JW and the little
frekin' second have been busy all summer and today was to be our first
day toghether on the lake. Took off for Mashapaug, about 23 miles
away, Got less than a half mile from the exit, and heard the tell tale
singing of a tire going, going, gone on the trailer. Took all the toys
out, battery, tubes, other equipment and took the family home. Grabbed
a couple of the sandwiches, some gatoraide, a guitar, and went back to
the boat to get the engines (padlocked, outboards) and wait for triple
A. The guy had a nice new rig with a smooth plate body, my old one was
this funky grooved aluminum. Anyway, he followed me home, got a nice
tip, and I will fix the tire and try again tomorrow.

Make your own beer, It's chaeper than schlitz and you get what you
want. Five gallons of premium brew costs me about 25 bucks to make.

Uh, I drink about a gallon of beer a year, maybe a little less. It's
easier to pick up a six pack at my corner booze emporium.

I keep meaning to try that, but just haven't been drinking enough beer
to do it. Sometimes I go weeks before grabbing a beer, which is bad.
Beer is good for you. I have to get a routine for a daily beer or
two.
