A warning to all would-be-alcoholics

Beer Contains Female Hormones

Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women.To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.

Men, unlike women are no great mystery

Men Are Like
..Placemats.They only show up when there's food on the table

...Mascara.They usually run at the first sign of emotion

...Bike helmets.They're good in emergencies but usually just look silly

...Government bonds.They take so long to mature

...Copiers.You need them in reproduction but that's about it

...Lava lamps.Fun to look at it but not all that bright

...Bank accounts.Without a lot of money they don't generate a lot of interest

...High heels.They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it

...Curling irons.They're always hot and always in your hair

...Mini skirts.If your not careful they'll creep up your legs

...Handguns.Keep one around long enough and your gonna want to shoot it

...Floor tiles.Lay them right the first time and you can walk on them for a lifetime

...Parking spots. The good ones are taken, and the rest are too small

...Bananas. The older they get, the less firm they are.

Things to do before I go.
