At a world brewing convention in the States, the CEOs of various brewing organisations retired to the bar at the end of each day's conferencing. Bruce, CEO of Fosters, shouted to the Barman: “In 'Strailya, we make the best bloody beer in the world, so pour me a Fosters, mate.”

Bob, CEO of Budweiser calls out next: “In the States, we brew the finest beers of the world, and I make the king of them all – gimme a Bud.” Hans steps up next: “In Germany ve invented das beer. Give me ein Becks, der real King of beers.” Paddy, CEO of Guinness, steps forward: “Barman, give me a diet coke with ice and lemon please.”

The others stare at him in stunned silence, amazement written all over their faces. Eventually Bruce asks: “Are you not going to have a Guinness, Pat?” Paddy replies “Well, if you poofs aren't drinkin' real beer, then neither am I!”
