For more than 4 decades I have enjoyed an ice cold Bud after a long day
hiking on the trail. As increasing numbers of ill-tempered individuals
on mountain bikes have made hiking increasingly unpleasant, I have all
but entirely ceased hiking. On those occasions when I do hike, I now
conclude my day with a cold draft of one of your competitor's beers. I
have contacted my fellow outdoorsmen (not spoiled infants on bikes), via
the internet and have informed them, as I am now informing you, that
until Budweiser openly withdraws its support for infants, I will no
longer purchase Budweiser beer. I drink beer with and for men only.
