To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine

and those who don't and are always

seen with a bottle of water in their hand,

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 litre 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 annually.



However,

We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine and beer

(or rum, whiskey or other liquor)

because alcohol has to go through a purification process

of boiling, filtering and 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.



VERIFICATION:

BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE DRINK A LOT OF WATER WHILE IN SESSION.

THIS EXPLAINS THE RESULTS THEREIN . . . .



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

I'm doing it as a public service.

Obviously, you don't get your water from a deep, private well.

I gave up water when I found out what fish do in it...

Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain" routine included the following-

"I drink Old Fashioned's for toothache. I never intend to get toothache!"

In the water drowned by much more people than in wine, the conclusion is obvious.

Truer words were never spoken.

Two Irishmen was adrift on the wast ocean and suddelny one caught a magic lamp on his fishing hook.
He rubs it, genie pops out and says he got one wish.
And then he says: I wish the ocean was beer.
Pop the genie is gone and they are adrift in a sea of fine beer.

Then his mate says: Nice going stupid, now we have to piss in the boat!

When my son was in the service in the Iraqi debacle,he told me often that the the thing he missed most was the taste of our well water that he had grown up drinking.
