Friday Funny - 41 miles per gallon

Submitted: Friday, Jun 01, 2007 at 19:23

Derek from Affordable Batteries & Radiators

2007 study found that the average Australian walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Australians drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, Australians get about 41 miles per gallon."

Accept good advice gracefully - as long as it doesn't interfere with what you intend to do.

Water and Wine Education

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) Bacteria found in faeces.
In other words,
we are consuming 1 kilo of Poo.

However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine, beer (or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

WATER = Poo
WINE = HEALTH

Free yourself of Poo, drink WINE!!!

It is better to drink wine and talk schit than to drink water and be full of schit.

Have a nice day...
