A Pipe Dream

Dateline - Bruges, Belgium. A 500 year old brewery in this medieval city has been transporting its liquid gold by tank wagons two miles to its bottling plant causing traffic tie ups. But they have now built a pipeline and went to the internet to develop donors to defray the expense. A modest donation gets you a six pack on your birthday but a maximum contribution gets you "free beer for life" or one bottle of beer a day for as long as you live. A frat boy's dream!
