Him again? He takes credit for everytying! Who wants to bet this God fellow is a do-nothing VP with a corner office, and that beer was actually invented by a cubical dwelling grunt? At least, that's how things work in my company.

In Canada, beer and god are both based on faith. Canadians just believe that what they are served is beer :rolleyes: [just doing my bit of racial jokes this morning]
