for beer at the ball game.


Makes sense. When I was in college, I used to frequent McSorley's
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McSorleys_Old_Ale_House). You couldn't order
one beer, they only came in pairs. Now I know the reason.
When were you in college. I spent many an evening in McSorley's in the
70's. I've heard they've since put in a women's room getting rid of the
need of the bouncer at the door to the john who would yell "Woman coming in"
