You Know You Are Old When

I don't know if it's just my imagination but I think it was better back then.
A cleaner, lighter refreshing taste.

I think the best beer I ever tasted was an unopened Falstaff I found in the ditch in front of our house in about 1968...winter time, cold and slushy, just right. Started me on the road to sin and degradation, I'm sure.

I've also noticed that full beer cans are thrown in the ditch around here. It makes me wonder if they drank enough to get a little intoxicated and their wife would cut their throat if they brought any home after their last DUI, so out the window it goes.

My wife clips the online coupons for the grocery store while I'm driving her there. It's a 10 minute drive and a 9 minute task.

We go on senior day and save 10% as well. Hey, that applies to this thread nicely.

It takes about 10-15 minutes at the store to clip the coupons to save $45-50.

I usually make a more than $50 in 15 minutes.

Add up your time spent posting messages here. I would rather save the money at the store.

Nah... posting here is fun. Clipping coupons is tedium.

When I worked at OSI, IC wafer inspection machines. There was a Production Control Manager that could tell me a joke every day and never repeat one.

There was another guy that was a manager in R&D that was always bragging about Coor's beer. In one staff meeting the jokester tells me what he did.

He said he bought some Coor's and put some in a vial and sent it to the State Health Department, the State wrote back, that your horse has diabetes.

Very cold Busch Beer for me....

We were maybe 14-15 years old, and out sledding on a hill at the end of our street. There was a high tension tower at the top of the hill where we had a winter fort built. We're sitting there contemplating our next daring run down the hill, when a city street department truck pulls up and stops. A guy gets out of the passenger side, digs a hole in the snow next to a stop sign, puts a paper bag in it, covers it up and off they go.

So as soon as they are out of sight, we sled down there, dig it up, and it's a 6 pack of Busch Beer. We grab it and run back up the hill, down all 6 cans, put it back in the paper bag, sled back down the hill, and re-bury the empties in the bag.... then leave the area.

Yes, I know we were little punks for doing that. But that's what little punks do and it felt good.

I'd expect the same treatment from little punks today, except today, they'd be influencers, live stream it and catch our reactions and make $$ off of us.

I've posted this before, but here again. We used to have a Drewrys Beer brewery here. The running joke was their's was the only beer to feature the consumer and the factory on the same label.

Two things I never understood:

1. Anyone who likes to drink the same beer, day after day. I love a great burger, but I don’t want burgers every day!

2. Anyone who drinks cheap beer. It ain’t exactly health food. If you’re going to be abusing your liver, you should at least enjoy it!

My inventory is always changing,but always some more interesting quality brews:

I loved Heineken on tap, but drank Budweiser.

Today is my anniversary for quitting drinking 32 years ago.
