Every Friday night a bunch of us
fellows get together over at Bill
Webster's place. We wouldn't miss
those weekly get-togethers for any
thing. There are seven in the group
Bill Webster, Judge Cunningham,
Pete Swanson, Old Doc McGinnis
the dentist, and young Doc Mitch
ell the M.D., the government man
Bob Newcomb, and myself.
We don't play cards. We don't
sing or carry on.
We just sit quietly and talk
and drink a glass or two of beer.
I guess we discuss just about
everything under the sun politics,
business, family affairs, music,
farming, hunting, fishing, and
what not.
But mostly we like to chew the
fat about life's experience and a
man's philosophy in these times.
To sort of help out the conversa
tion, we've found mellpw beer par
ticularly relaxing. Every one of us
likes the tangy taste of beer...
and now and then Judge Cunning
ham insists on ale for everybody.
You mightn't think that just
settin and talkin' would be so
much fun. But it is. Particularly
when a man begins to get around
to the age of reason. Like us.
And it's wonderful how a few
glasses of good beer help bring out
good talk and good sense when
men get together. There's some
thing peaceful and friendly and
human about beer that brings out
the best in a man.
They call beer the "beverage of
moderation." That "moderation"
idea is good philosophy . . . maybe
that's why good beer and good
fellowship go together so well.
Seems to me there ought to be
more of this quiet talk over a glass
of beer. It sure straightens out a
man in his thinking.
Anyhow, men ought to get to
gether and be friends. That's the
way we were made. Why not try it
more of ten all of you?
