There is a large German community about 10 miles from where my mom grew up, and the only thing they liked better than drinking beer was talking about the guy who got the most plastered. that was in the late 50's and early 60s and it is still that way there today. I was told by a local beer distributor that county/town had the highest per capita consumption of beer in the whole nation. also they tool their Catholic upbringing as serious, if you weren't Catholic and you worked for a company, even if you where the only person trained to do an important job, if there was a layoff you'd be the first to go, the next group would be the catholic, non germans.

i asked the kids how the dog managed that, the reply was "the glass door was cracked, I thought you wanted it that way."
