Friends,
Germans can legally drink beer at age 16 but not to drive
until they’re 18 -although when they finally do there are some segments of the
autobahn which have no speed limits. Combining these data points is sure to
yield a smartass remark. The most interesting man in the world might sum it up
this way: They cannot initially drink and drive, but when they finally can,
they prefer to go 2x faster. I’m sure one of you will do a better job at
combining these factoids. This morning, as I embark to Durango with my family
and visiting former exchange student from Germany (who at 19 is in an awkward
legal drinking limbo), I’m glad there is no minimum donut eating age. Made with
wheat, water and yeast, they’re practically an edible weizenbier. Of course,
you’ll have to provide your own donuts (if you want them, that is).
Either way,
prost to a happy Friday!
