more light #290A Catechism for Social Intermingling
by Ed Halpaus Dear Brethren, I got a pleasant surprise in the mail the other day – a ‘Beer Schooner.” I remember my Dad ordering a Schooner of Beer occasionally when I was a kid, and he always got a big smile when the Server (Bar Maid in those days) would set it on the table for him. I don’t know who ordered the Schooner for me, it came directly from ‘Newcastle Brown Ale, I’ve asked around and so far have not found the person who ordered it for me. If the person who did is reading this – Thanks! It’s a fine Schooner and it works great. Anyway, because of the gift, I remembered something from the April 1971 Philalethes magazine, which I thought you might like to see. So here it is, enjoy! A Catechism for Social Intermingling Q. How were you first prepared to be a Steward? Q. What is a corkscrew? Q. Where did they receive it? Q. How did they receive it? Q. Why in this peculiar manner? Q. Name the two advertisements that hung on the door of the chamber. Q. What are their separate and conjoint significance? Q. What is Beer? Q. How is it usually depicted? Charge: Seeing you are properly prepared to be made a Steward, I will now proceed to entrust you with the secrets of a Steward. You will bring one bottle of Beer in your left hand, your corkscrew in your right – so – you will now fill the tank in front of you – so – you will invite me to drink deep, wish me good health, happy days, and repeat at frequent intervals, always remembering that it is your duty to see me to my bed chamber and make apologies for me if necessary. |
