December 5, 2008 - Friday Funny - Who wants a Beer?

This week’s FRIDAY FUNNY is in commemoration of an ANNIVERSARY.

Some would think that it is reference to the 16 years of wedded bliss to my soul mate, my partner, and my best friend, Heidi. (In this weak economy, blogs have now replaced traditional gifts and cards.) We exchanged our vows on December 5, 1992.

No, the ANNIVERSARY that I'm talking about is the 75th Anniversary of the repeal of prohibition.

The 18th Amendment to the Constitution banning the sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors was ratified on January 16, 1919. It was repealed by the 21st Amendment of December 5, 1933, seventy-five years ago today.

Right after the Government took away the alcohol, they gave women the right to vote via the 19th Amendment in 1920. Draw your own correlations and conclusions.

At any rate, here’s is one guy that seems happy, even jolly, about the repeal.
