Wine Bras for Women and Beer Bellies for Men

June 19th, 2008- Reuters
"Quick quiz: you can tell if a woman has class if you offer to buy her a glass of wine and she says…

a) Thank you, I’ll have a supple Margaux
b) Thank you, I’ll have an earthy Syrah
c) Thank you, I’ll have an overpriced Pinot Grigio
d) No thanks, hot-shot, I got me a brassiere full of cheap sweet red, right here!

Yes, female wine drinkers no longer have to bother with bottles and corks, they can just strap on this wine bra. And for guys, there is a wearable beer belly..."

Amber says: Just thought I should share this one, Its amazing. Really. If I had found these when I was in Germany I would have brought one back for EVERYONE!!! :-) Seriously, people are making money off of this, too. Maybe my ideas aren't so bad, after all!

Beer-sipping clients have taxes done in a bar

HOBOKEN, New Jersey (Reuters)

"The sounds of the Rolling Stones pour from the speakers while beer glasses are filled and a jovial game of darts takes place 10 feet away.

It's just another night at the office for Carmine Sodora, certified public accountant..."

Amber says: Alright, I admit... I'm a sucker for articles that involve alcohol. It's sad, but true. However, you can't deny the brilliance of this guy. Wouldn't you rather have your taxes done in a nice, cozy pub than a cubicle set up in a Wal*Mart somewhere under a big, green HR Block sign? And, having a few pints in you sure would ease the "I have to pay in how much?" pain. This close to the tax deadline, I'm sure most people would be groaning and mumbling under their breath while their significant others are ordering a wasted Saturday to finish up ("You've had MONTHS to do them!"). Well, mumble no more! The answer is here! (It sure beats the way I did my taxes- hunched in a camp chair on my laptop, trying to balance papers and reciepts around my already too-small keyboard, and type at the same time!)

Again, I say- Brilliant. And not only for the beer involved.
