BEER PONG: AMERICAS GENIUS

just when i get totally depressed over the prospects for americas future, something comes along that rekindles my believe in the native genius of america and americans.

i went shopping last night with my daughter at Ralphs, our local supermarket, for a small party she was having in the back yard. she said she needed ice and ping pong balls. the ice i understood; the ping pong balls less so as we do not have a ping pong table. the answer of course was beer pong. i asked her was she sure they would have such at a supermarket. she assured me they did. as we roamed the aisles of miscellaneous party items with no luck, we approached an employee for help. just as he was about to answer i had a eureka moment; the beer section! and sure enough right next to the cold heinekins were packages of ping pong balls.

american marketing genius at work.

i feel much better about the country and its prospects now
