That is a shame. Usually you end up having to do less because fewer people know who you are and what you do, but more people overlap your responsibilities due to inefficiency.

Piss water to you Europeans.

"light" beer has less calories in it so you don't get that beer gut, supposidly...

Hey Medmech, sorry to hear about the bureaucracy involved with the new merger. As a guy who has spent most of my life self-employed, I can sympathize. I recently took on some side work that is for a very large corporation, HR dept and all that crap. By the time you actually get to work, you've amassed as much paperwork as if you just closed on a house. It's good motivation to begin the process of building your own company again.

The Miller High Life Light, isn't High Life already light? I enjoy a High Life with some regularity, when I am not in the mood for actual beer. But now you have good ammo for when someone you would rather just go home comes by - "Hey Buddy, have a High Life Light", probably get rid of them pretty quick.

toompah - light beer is like sex in a canoe, fu**ing close to water!!

the problem with this Low Fat stuff is you eat or drink twice as much because it is Low Fat and still pack on the pounds...
