Fall 1941. "Jackson, Michigan. Threshing wheat. Farmers drinking beer." Photo by Arthur Siegel for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
It's a little-known Midwest trick -- a good squeeze of vodka into each bottle of beer prior to consumption. It kinda makes the harvest go more pleasantly, ya know?
No way to top Bill Cary's pastiche, but I hope they're enjoying a Weizen, at least!
Unbeknownst to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, farm hands Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke relieved their boredom by beer. Together they drank a whiz of a fizz of suds at once, if ever, oh ever a beer there was.
Oh, do be careful with the fluids and don't drop that oil can Hunk, you might rust in place for ages or at least until a little girl happens by.
