  12. It's a lager! by philovivero · · Score: 3, Funny

    I had a history professor who loved giving quizzes with off-the-wall "bonus questions" at the end.

    The quizzes were given orally.

    Question #9: "What is a lager" (most people, myself included, thought he meant "logger" and were confused)

    Question #10: "What is a beer brewed in the bottom of the barrel?

    It was pretty clear to even non-beer-drinkers like myself (I'm probably more ignorant of beer terminology than most nuns) what was meant by the two questions at this point, and those of us with minimal reasoning skills got the two questions right. It was funny to listen to the whiners that said the questions were unfair.

  28. Re:But what about his dryer? by scotay · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dryers have been used by Belgian monks to produce the so-called "lint trappist" style of ales.

    Very satisfying and complex tasting stuff, but sometimes it suffers from an odd aftertaste of static cling.
