Walgreens Rolls Out Store-Brand Beer | The Onion - America's Finest News Source | American Voices

On  a related note, on Friday at Michel Richard's new bistro at the Ritz in Tyson's, I ordered a beer and was told "Well, we have mostly foriegn beers: Kronenbourg, something else, and perhaps one Miller Lite back there." A colleague sarcastically thanked our waitress on my behalf for profiling me. If I come back, I shall return wearing a NASCAR t-shirt.

"Conversations" - Peace Corps Public Service Announcement

Now I probably annoyed the hell out of my classmates in graduate school, but I think I was no way as obnoxious as this guy! I'm really not sure if this PSA was meant to be self-deprecating or not.
