Beer Philosophies

A strain of lateral thinking is activated on sufficient consumption of beer. I have strong evidence of this.The ideas are so unique, almost bordering on the edge of insanity, that under any normal circumstances it would seem even foolish to listen to them, but as circumstances warrant , everyone listening is also under the influence of beer, so it not only seems pragmatic but seems that you would be foolish not to implement any of these brainstorms.
Here is a typical irrational example.
As in the case of training programs in any typical software company, the sole purpose of guys
is to hit on anythin that looks cute under the sun.
So, as explained my esteemed colleague, he too was under the same extenuating circustances.
Only difference was that he called these targets as wickets. So our dear Mr. X has three
wickets in mind. He also has all sorts of strategies in mind to achieve the target.
Out swingers, yorkers, in swingers, the only aim being to make a stick fall.
One unwritten rule was that you get to bowl only one ball.
Seems a weird rule, but it seems wickets have this kind of a mindset where if a ball misses a wicket even if by an inch, the ball is disqualified from hitting on other wickets.
Harsh it is, but as the Duckworth Lewis system exists, so does this.
As the story unfolds, our dear Mr X is all fired up. His aim being the middle stick, but if due
to some unforseen circumstances like wind, if the ball deviates, hitting off stick or leg stick
will still be acceptable.
So there is our Mr X speeding on his run-up like the Rawalpindi Express undoped. And he
delivers the ball!!!!
Lo, behold!! What a delivery!! The ball is on its way to the boundary, No.. no hits by any
batsman.
Its a wide, and so wide that it missed the keeper too.
Blame it on extra terrestrial interference or the bermuda triangle. There defenitely was
an abnormal magnetic influence somewhere.
Nothing could deviate the ball to that wide an angle.
In the case of our Mr X the influence was his wedding arranged by his parents to a dearMs Y.
So there ends our little story, Mr X going down in history as one of the fastest but uncapped
bowlers.
The moral as explained by Mr X was to have 24 wickets in a row. So no matter how wide u bowl, u will defenitely hit something.
Of course as long as u dont space ur wickets so far apart that the ball sails through the gap!!!
