Less Filling...? Tastes Great...?

So I was at a bar last week watching the Yankees lose their second (of three) in a row to the TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS when up walks a tall blonde who looks like she just stepped out of a beer commercial. By this I mean she was attractive, yes, but also that she was holding two beer bottles and wearing a Miller Lite T-shirt that was tied off at the bottom. She quite literally looked like she belonged in a beer commercial. This was because she was advertising beer.

She explained that she was going around bars in the city promoting the "Miller Lite Challenge" in which she has people blindly pick their favorite tasting, looking and smelling beer and then reveal that their favorite beer was Miller Lite all along (hopefully)!

I gotta say, the challenge was a bit lame. She basically guided you through the whole thing, indicating that a beer is supposed to look golder, smell fruitier and taste better and asking you to choose accordingly. I mean come on! What if I like bitterer, yellower, skunkier-smelling (her word, not mine) beer? It's my prerogative. Anyway, I'm pleased to report that I correctly identified the Miller Lite each and every time.

The other, worse beer? Bud Lite of course! I think it'd would've been more impressive if they pitted Miller Lite against, say, Guiness and it still won. That would be eye-opening. But it wasn't to be.

The best part is, among all the lame shwag they gave me for participating was a yellow-penalty flag. Awesome! I have been throwing it at people's faces all week, for such penalties as "insufficiently funny jokes" and "being lame" ever since, amusing people (read: me) to no end. I would venture to guess that it is the best random sports-related prop since Ele-buddy Ankur Pandya started shouting things like "Let's Go Pizza!" through a bullhorn donated to the Big Red Comedy Festival.
