Humour
Beer Effect
University scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoeostrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men were fed 8 pints of beer each, within 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:
1) gained weight;
2) talked excessively without making sense;
3) became overly emotional;
4) couldn’t drive;
5) failed to think rationally;
6) argued over nothing;
7) had to sit down while urinating;
8) refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
No further testing is planned.
