- While I agree this is not the place to post the 53 reasons, I wouldn't
- categorize it as being "sexist garbage". It's just a joke - not intended
- to specifically insult women. I know a lot of women who think it's
- quite funny. Similar story exists about men (the one about cucumber
- etc.) and it is quite funny also. (Not the best type of humor either
- of them, though.)
-
- I strongly disapprove sexist views, but this particular story is
- just 'rough' humor. Not to be taken seriously. (_If_ this is the story
- I've read before, not some strange perverted version of it)
-
- But, to be associated with true sexist garbage, beer indeed is
- too high class a beverage. In any case, please post the story to
- rec.humor, not here. The story might insult someone, and furthermore
- there is rec.humor for posting jokes.
-
- BTW, opinions on "London Pride Ale"? I find it quite pleasant,
- with perhaps too light body, but an overall satifying bottled bitter
- ale. It is a relatively recent entry to the Finnish selection of
- foreign beers. Is Old Peculier available in bottles? I know it
- most certainly wouldn't be the same as enjoying a pint of the
- real thing, but it'd be the closest thing here.
-
- Cheers!
