Woman Gets Beer From Her Kitchen Faucet
OSLO, Norway - It almost seemed like a miracle to Haldis Gundersen when she turned on her kitchen faucet this weekend and found the water had turned into beer.

Two flights down, employees and customers at the Big Tower Bar were horrified when water poured out of the beer taps.

By an improbable feat of clumsy plumbing, someone at the bar in Kristiandsund, western Norway, had accidentally hooked the beer hoses to the water pipes for Gundersen's apartment.

"We had settled down for a cozy Saturday evening, had a nice dinner, and I was just going to clean up a little," Gundersen, 50, told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. "I turned on the kitchen faucet and beer came out."

7. Hell yeah it is
"We had settled down for a cozy Saturday evening, had a nice dinner, and I was just going to clean up a little," Gundersen, 50, told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. "I turned on the kitchen faucet and beer came out."
Blah blah blah......


Mine would be:

"I had just returned from the bar Saturday evening, and I was just going to clean up a little," Johnnie told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. "I turned on the faucet and was hoping for beer to come out..and it did!"

10. No, because you wouldn't have told the press
clearly beer isn't supposed to come out of your faucet, so if a miracle like that happened, I think you would keep pretty quiet about it. :)

11. This beats the shit out of a weeping Mary, doesn't it!
A fucking sink that dispense free beer! People would make pilgrimages from miles around to worship the magic sink, and get completely shitfaced. :)

18. Like that Ramones song
You didn't Mean Anything to Me

Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
