Our new IT boss Paul Harper had just come from the Guiness factory in Ireland and took us to the pub and bought us a round. The other boys said to me "I can't drink this ****." I said jokingly "Yes you can. You want to keep your job you drink it and pretend you are enjoying it."

Long long ago in my single days I had a beer fridge in the garage, stocked with at least a dozen different beers. I always sprinkled in some Guinness. I had several buddies come over knowing I always had cold beer on hand. I made them stand on a X put on the garage floor, close their eyes, turn 360 and they had to drink what ever they grabbed.
I like tasty beers, but this was 35+ years ago so no microbreweries and a restricted beer selection in Oklahoma. The good friends would bring along their beer and sprinkle it around in the fridge.
Most of my buddies did not care for the Guinness and just wanted a Budweiser. Ahh to be a 20 something single guy and buddies. We told a few jokes and had some good laughs.
