Is this beer at room temperature? I just glanced at Christopher
Green's post .. I may have lost already. BUT, I want to look at the
wording of the questions before I concede. Hold on!! [If all all

you know, it depends on what the definition of is, is :) ]
John,
The temperature of good beer depends where is the room: in Alabama
or in John o' Groats*! Thought of artificially cooled English beer
is painful (ugh!). As for the definition (actually the meaning) of
'is', I just looked it up in the Oxford English Dictionary: there are
10++ meanings. (The point Clinton made was not at all silly, but as
a politician he should have known that most people would think it
was.) So, don't worry about definitions - you may have set yourself
an impossible task. And the bet: you say tomato I say tameito...
So, let's call the whole thing off....
By the way, I just read Chris who thinks he was interjecting humor
into all this; I thought you and I had already done that! (We are
number ONE, we are...)
