I'm chokin' on my corndog here!
You better hurry...
By my calculations, that's at least a third of your supply of Irish Stout.
Two Irishmen, Patrick and Collum, afloat in a lifeboat on the high seas. Nearly out of water, dying of thirst.
A bottle floats by on the currents. Collum recognizes it for a Djinn Bottle, seizes it, and begins to polish it furiously.
Sure enough, a Genie floats upwards before them. "Because you have freed me, I shall grant thee one wish".
Collum is delirious with joy. Looking at the undrinkable salty seas all about him, he exclaims to the Genie, "I wish the whole ocean were a sea of Guinness!!"
"Your wish is granted", says the Genie, and disappears.
The ocean quickly darkens, the color of a rich swarthy brew. Ecstatic, Collum begins to splash the hearty grog down his throat. Meanwhile, Patrick just sits back and shakes his head wearily. "Ahh, Collum, me lad, why'd you have to go and do that now, eh?"
"Are ye mad?!" Exclaims Collum. "Patrick, it's perfectly good Guinness!! An ocean full of it!!"
"Exactly, Collum," sighed Patrick, "...Now we'll have to piss in the boat."
