Del Hall, who works at the Fifty West brewery in Dayton, said he will not eat or drink anything except beer for all 46 days of Lent. Hall said he was inspired by monks from the 1600s, who would make a special bock beer for Lent. “Being master brewers, they decided they would take a popular style of beer in Germany, bock beer, make it extra hearty and that would be their liquid bread and that’s what they call it.” Hall said he is altering the monks’ tradition by including all types of beer in his fast.

A Texan walks into an Irish pub, he says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.” The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves. Ten minutes later the man shows back up and asks, “Is your bet still good?” The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately, the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses drinking them all back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 10 minutes you were gone?” The Irishman replies, “Oh…I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”

“Trust me, you can dance,” said the Beer

Nobody works harder than a drunk person trying to carefully whisper a secret.
