Another Wonderful Reuter's Moment
I am an avid reader of Reuter's Oddly Enough. Every so often I come across an article that make me smile. Well, today is one of those days.
OSLO (Reuters) - A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the taps in her apartment in west Norway.
"I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out," Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, west Norway. "We thought we were in heaven."
Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.4 liter (0.7 pint) costing about 50 crowns ($7.48) in a bar.
Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was not fizzy.
It turned out that a worker in a bar two floors below had mixed up the pipes on Saturday evening, wrongly connecting a new barrel to a water pipe leading to Gundersen's flat. The bar got water in its beer taps.
"If it happens again I'm going to order Baileys (coffee liqueur)," she said.
Why is it, I don't have beer running through MY faucets? My wife has asked me recently to give her suggestions for the other bathroom in the house...ahem...HINT HINT!
To be perfectly honest, I am not a big beer drinker. The only time I really drink beer is Foster's draft at a hockey game with a pretzel. I am not sure why I have to be at a hockey game, but I do.
I would rather drink a long island iced tea. Just think of how much that would increase the resale value in my house.
Realtor: This house features a jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom and dual vanity. One vanity has water, the other has cold long island iced tea and hot irish coffee.
This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). How come houses aren't made with these features already included? I want the kitchen sink to have Hot and Cold water and another faucet for the chilled Dr. Loosen Erdener Pralat Auslese (again the long island iced tea is in the master bathroom).
Did you know...
