Here's a whole collection. https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrTcciQ1tpZbX4AQBEnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByNWU4cGh1BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=Beer+Cans+With+Cones&fr=yhs-mozilla-002&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002
On one trip in Germany at a bier hall, I was holding the handle of the mug to drink the beer. The waitress came over and showed me the right way to hold it - with your hand inside the handle.

I eventually drank beer only from bottles. I don't know now if that was any better for me, but I had my fun anyway.

I learned to drink beer when I was in the USAF. A guy who befriended me used to take me to the bar, and he would buy me a can of beer, and tell me to drink a few sips if I wanted to. By the time I got transferred to Morocco, I was broken in, and drank like the others. However, when I had a layover in New Jersey, some of us went to Coney Island in NY, and drank all day. I got so sick, I had to go to the bathroom to throw up, and I was working at the BOQ for the day. The sgt in charge knew my condition, and he would let me go to the restroom frequently. I swore off drinking, but when I was stationed in Morocco, I became an expert like the others. Even picked up smoking in the Air Force. Quit smoking when I was in my early thirties, but have smoked Cuban cigars a few years ago.

I had quit drinking, after some serious incidents, while in the Navy. Then, in the late 70's I decided to cultivate a drinking habit. No conscious rhyme or reason, but a willful decision. For quite a few years I drank every waking, non working, moment. Finally got it under control. I still drink on occasion, but don't have to.

Smoking. Once I quit doing that, I grew to dislike tobacco. Don't like to be around it.

In downtown Montreal.

Kind of reminded me of an art work on a building in Havana of Che. Always enjoyed traveling to Cuba, but the recent reports on Americans suffering from physical and mental illness will cease my travels to that country. Kind of sad, because we have friends there.

Do you think it may be exaggerated by our govt. as an excuse to back away from Obama's progress with Cuba?

Can't be sure. Trump is sleezy, and can't be trusted. Also, communication between our countries doesn't exist. Also, not many people in Cuba have access to the internet, and where it exists, it's very slow and the cost is too high for most Cubans.

People from the past used to think more and text less.

What have in common an erupting volcano, a tornado and your ex-wife after divorce?

The three of them take your house away from you.

I've been to India a couple of times, but never saw one of those signs. Must be a recent rule. That sign seems to work, though. The carpet seems to be in good condition. Another thought; people in India do not eat cow, but are allowed to eat carpet. check.
