Historical Revisionism

The following is an email I received and had a good
laugh!
I did an edit and cut out the political comments
because
this is not a political blog. My comments are
in green.

The two most important events in all of history were
the invention of Beer (why is beer capitalized?) and
the invention of the wheel.
The wheel was invented to get man to the Beer.
(Ah, I thought that's why the car was invented!)

These inventions were the foundation of
modern civilization.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain,
and that was the beginning of agriculture.
(Is beer the motive of all mankind's advancement?)
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum
can were invented yet, so while our early
humans were sitting around waiting for them to
be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.
That's how villages were formed. (My God! beer
is the foundation of all society!)

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to
B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer.
(alas, men have not changed in thousands of years!)
