water vs beer

[Shelby07]

If anybody gives you crap about drinking while smoking a 'gar, tell them the following...

WATER...

It has been scientifically proven that, if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of escherichia coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of crap.

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

WATER = Crap

BEER = HEALTH

Free yourself of Crap, drink BEER!!!

It is better to drink beer and talk crap than to drink water and be full of crap.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information, I am doing it as a public service.

Actually, coliform bacteria is helpful... It helps break down your crap...

I always think it's funny when people freak out about e. coli ... E. coli is relatively harmless. Your colon is full of the little buggers and I can't imagine any level of coliform that could actually harm you if digested.

HOWEVER, they live in your colon... So in the morning your toilet ends up with a bunch of them, if you catch my drift. Soooo, when you find a lot of coliform in your water/food, it means there's a lot of poop in there, too.

Sorry guys, you have wandered into my area of expertise and I have to respond. Here’s a little comment and I’ll try not to get all scientific:

1) Drinking water standards in the US allow 0, no E. Coli in the water. That is not to say a person might not ingest a microbe or two drinking a daily liter per year, but the amount would be microscopic.

2) Correct-Small amounts of E. Coli are relatively harmless, but the presence of E. coli is used to signal the possible presence of harmful bacteria. So drinking 365 liters of water that contains a pound of E. Coli would be extremely dangerous.

I know you guys are just joking around, but drinking water standards are taken very seriously by some people .

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that DR is a water engineer or works for a SoCal public works dept?

I think everyone is missing the big picture here...

Oxygen is bad for you.... Sad but true...

If we don't breath a certain amount of oxygen each minute of our life, we will die.

Of course - if we breath oxygen it will literally kill us...

Oxygen tends to be pretty corrosive - look what it does to various metals.

And then we take "anti-oxidants" to counter the effects of oxygen on our body...

It's a losing battle, boys... I say - drink and smoke cigars. You gotta do it while you're alive. It ain't gonna happen when you're gone...

Here Here !! There There !! Give it to me know because when I'm dead I won't care.

Hard alcohol is the only alcohol that's distilled :p.

Infact, some beer is secondary fermented in the bottle to add the carbonation.

So i'ts more: Free yourself of crap. Drink scotch.

Well, just to be safe - I drank a coupla snifters of Huradura Anejo Tequila with my St. Pauli Girl last night. Don't want to take any chances...

This is true as I have learned from my water management and water quality classes. TSS, DS, BOD, and the likes.

OK - No more jokes for you guys, you're just too smart (or I'm too stupid!)

Don't get me wrong, the joke WAS entertaining. We just hope people that read it doesn't take it too seriously and develop a phobia against tap water, the water utility, etc.

Water nerd! :P

I actually studied sewage treatment in high school. Yeah, really. There's a long story that goes along with that involving volleyball, Stairway to Heaven, and a smoking hot chick who promptly moved out of state, but I'll spare you the details.

Wow! That sounds like one hell of a story...
Did you know publishing houses generally only read the first paragraph of a book before deciding whether to reject it? Super, I think you could use that as a first paragraph and fill the next 200 pages with knock-knock jokes and some publishing house would be sending you a contract!

If I were trying to get it published, I'd throw in some clowns and maybe a motorcycle gang. You know, really spice up the story...
