My mother just bought a beer funnel.

She's been trying to figure out a way to make the air conditioner drain so that it doesn't ruin the paint on the side of the house. In so doing, she's made this contraption out of an old funnel from my grandfather's house, some duct tape, about 5 feet of tubing, and a bucket. My friend Mariah suggested to her that she buy a beer bong so that she wouldn't have to worry about the funnel/tubing part leaking.
She's now gone on a crusade to find a beer funnel and make people as uncomfortable as possible, as they are selling one to a tiny little Italian woman, who will inevitably ask them why they are selling such an item.
hahaha! What size basin at the top? We had one back in college that you could bong a 40 out of.
I just got this in my inbox:

I went to a liquor store at lunch for a beer funnel, then to hardware store where the guy told me I could find one at Spencer gifts. So now I realize what they are used for, not catching the beer out of the keg to pour, but to pour huge quantities down people's throats so they pass out or something.
Very nice; very very nice.
Plugged in young man sold me another length of tubing instead for the funnel I already have. This time, tubing will fit on outside of the funnel, not the inside. I am creeping closer to success, I can feel it!

1. your mother is nuts and i love her.
2. there is a picture in my bedroom of me funneling beer. i was three.
I funneled a couple of liters of cider when I was in London, it was fantastic.
It makes her REALLY happy. I'm going to find her in the backyard with a soldering iron one of these days and not be surprised.
That is so hilarious. The funnier part is that your dad, being a college professor, could have found her one in about 10 seconds, especially if he offered extra credit or something.

I think they know that it's not for you, mom.
PAR SAYS:
yes, but perhaps they think I'm one of those crazy adult facilitators, like
those women who throw beer parties for their 16-yr-olds and their friends!
How pathetic!

WOO SPRING BREAK!
