I can see a whole new line of advertising - Wilderness Taste Tests. Each week a different species will be induced to perform side-by-side taste tests. Crikey! We can get Mikey to narrate.

Gotta get this down in writing fast, so that I'll be the one who gets the money.

How long do you think it will take A. Busch to shoot a commercial to combat this? Funny stuff.

I knew a horse once (actually a Shetland pony, but we couldn't call him that in his presence) who only liked other people's beer. He would sneak up behind someone and wait 'til they set their beer down, and then he would throw a lip-lock on the can and chug it. When it was empty, he would carefully set it back down in the same spot he stole it from, and then watch sadistically as the poor chump tried to take a drink from an empty can covered with horse slobber.

I think most animals like beer, and who could blame them? I was at an outdoor party last night, sitting down, when the proprieter's dog came up and started begging. So I held my cup down and the dog drank beer until I took it away. He came back several times too. It wasn't long before he was trying to get on the other dog, if you know what I'm saying.

PS - I got a fresh cup for myself.
