CHHS Alumni at Capital Ale House

Well we had our monthly CHHS Alumni get together at Capital Ale House on Monday night. Even though we were small in number we all had a great time. We missed all the regulars that weren't there and were glad to see a couple of new faces.

They had a great menu special burgers for $1 and they weren't skimpy either. Great deal. I did order a cup of coffee and they brought it out in this cup. I don't know what in the world is going with the saucer though. There were a number of hypothesis, 1) they weren't quite ready when they shipped them from England and they slipped sideways; 2) it can be used as a back of a hat; 3) it has dreams of becoming a bowl!

The most of fun of the evening was going over the beer/ale menu which is only about 16 pages long. Some of the names had to have been thought up after either very long evenings without sleep or after having imbibed on way too much of the product that was being named. If you read two or three of them together in a sentence it even becomes funnier.

Circle Flies
A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan. Once he discovers the cowboy is from President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?"

Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well Sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."

"Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"

"No, Sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse's ass."

"That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though.
