More Wisdom From the In-Box

A friend sends this along...

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...
And those who don't.

As Ben Franklin said:

In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,

Scientists have demonstrated
that if we drink
1 liter of water each day,

At the end of the year we would have absorbed

More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria

Found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..

However,

We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer

(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)

Because alcohol has to go through a purification process

Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health
.
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of shit
.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I'm doing it as a public service!

And we've left the formatting intact, mainly coz I like the script font. We're ALL about freedom here at El Casa Móvil De Pennington, less so about the wisdom that comes bundled with wine. But we have been known to do a glass of Beaujolais now and then... or most any good red. Never white.

In the same vein as the above... here's what My Dear Ol Da used to say about water:

You know why I don't drink water?
No, Dad... why?

Coz fish f*ck in it.
Badda-da-boomp. But the Ol' Man did have a point, ya know. And that quote is verbatim, passed on to me when I was of an appropriate age for the language used therein.

  1. Indeed.

    Next up: Beer in Kegs. We are all about keeping the landfill clear of cans and bottles.

    Because we care.

  2. And wine in boxes...oh wait, that is not the same as beer in kegs. Although, it doesn't bother me.

  3. Your dad and W.C. Fields!

    White wine is de rigeur at Moogie's Mansion. Reds usually give me hives.

    Speaking of which -- it's after 5:00 (1700 hrs)!!

  5. Darryl: Good on ya. I'd do mini-kegs were it not for lack of space, and that includes those lil gallon-sized things they used to sell for the fridge. Are they still around?

    Lou: Wine in boxes? For SHAME. :D

    Moogie: You just mentioned the only reasonable defense of white wine I've ever heard. :D

    Suzie: You sound like MY kinda gal!

  6. Wine in bottles. Bottles are glass. Glass is recyclable. We do recycling in our town.

    Consumption of good quality wine = being environmentally conscious.

    Al Gore will finally return my calls! ;-)

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
