Last night we were watching a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers video (1934 The Gay Divorcee). What a scandalous title in these days. Actually it has some problematic material in it-treating divorce lightly. (Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore are hilarious as always.

"Guinness is good for you"

When he passes some
To a girl that's drunk
In the local pub,
If truth be told,
When the girls get silly
Then cheese is gold.
Where drafts of beer
Make you look better
As she gulps them down
With a side of cheddar!
My Irish grandfather insisted that my mother gave one Guinness a day when she was prgnant with me.
Also, I once heard from an English chemist that 24 pints of Guinness and egg had the daily nutrients neeeded to sustain a human being.
