This will probably cost Ireland the Olympics...

OK so I take a local bus into the city in the morning. It makes about 6 or 7 local stops before getting onto the parkway. For those of you who have never experienced this, for the most part the people on this bus have been doing so for years, and people make small talk with "Hey its Joe from the bus, how ya doing buddy". I'd like to make up names for these two men I overheard this morning, just for fun because I'm pretty sure it's accurate haha. Also, they are probably in their late 40s.

(both men are sitting in aisle seats next to one another on the bus, in the row behind me)

Joe: so anything new going on?

Steve: not too much, but hey I'll tell ya this, have you ever had Stella, as in the beer?

Joe: yes, it's a pretty solid brew.

Steve: you're not kidding, I feel bad for my Irish roots but I have stock in Budweiser so I'm going to drink up regardless.

Hi Steve, let's chat for a second. You have stock in a publicly owned American Brewery right? Well, you're new favorite beer is made in BELGIUM. And you're Irish, so basically I'd say you're fucked.

Honestly, do people even know where anything is made or from anymore? Jesus h...
