Question: “Want to grab a pint after work?”
Answer: “Is the pope Catholic?”

So it’s answering a question with a question but hey, that answer is never misunderstood. And this, folks, is my typical work day. Alternatively, you could answer that rhetorical question with: “Is Obama African American?”

What is of note is that there is a difference between the American pint and the British pint. The difference is 4 ounces. The proper British Imperial pint is indeed 20oz instead of 16oz. in America. This means two pints adds up to 40 ounces. Yes, as in “foety of OE, son“. What this also means is that people order the 10oz half pint. Yes, half a beer. They do it here. It is perfectly acceptable to order half pints if you don’t want to be downing another 20 ounces.

Now, this does have certain implications. It means if you are drinking with someone and they’re ordering the Skinny Bitch while you’re downing pint after pint, you should probably slow things down as you will not be able to go drink for drink with that someone. And by slow things down, I mean kick this person’s arse for ordering a Skinny Bitch…ninja style.
