        The wing mirrors are Talbot (from Berlin) bullet style. I have no idea
about their originality, but would like to know if someone is familiar
with these.


        Added bonus, beer humor....



An Irishman moves into a tiny village in County Kerry, 
walks into the pub and promptly orders three beers. 
The bartender raises his eyebrows, but serves the 
man three beers, which he drinks quietly at a table, 
alone. An hour later, the man has finished the three 
beers and orders three more. 

This happens yet again. The next evening the man 
again orders and drinks three beers at a time, several 
times. Soon the entire town is whispering about the 
"Man Who Orders Three Beers," 


Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject 
on behalf of the town. "I don't mean to pry, but folks around 
here are wondering why you always order three beers?" 
"'Tis odd, isn't it?" the man replies, "You see, I have two 
brothers, and one went to America, and the other to Australia. 
We promised each other that we would always order an 
extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of keeping 
up the family bond." 

The bartender and the whole town was pleased with 
his answer, and soon the "Man Who Orders Three 
Beers" became a local celebrity and source of pride 
to the village, even to the extent that out-of-towners 
would come to watch him drink. 

Then, one day, the man comes in and orders only two 
beers. The bartender pours them with a heavy heart. 
This continues for the rest of the evening: he orders 
only two beers. The word flies around town. 

Prayers are offered for the soul of one of the brothers. 
The next day, the bartender says to the man, "Folks 
around here, me first of all, want to offer condolences 
to you for the death of your brother. You know-the 
two beers and all... 


The man ponders this for a moment, then replies, 
"You'll be happy to hear that me two brothers are 
alive and well. It's just that I, meself, have decided 
to give up drinking for Lent."

        Featured on an out takes show was a clip from the old
"Newlyweds" show;
when the wives were in the isolation area and Bob was asking questions
to the husbands, one of the questions was "what is the oddest place you
and your wife have had sex?"
        The first guy answered "that'd be in the butt, Bob."
