PRETZEL RED ALERT! Overturned Canadian beer truck loses 46,368 bottles

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,152793,00.html

A beer truck flipped over on a roadway overpass in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Monday, prompting local officials to comment on the tragedy.

"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service (search) told The Daily News of Halifax. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer."

The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (search), skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road.

The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured � "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan � letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster.

4. Give the beer the respect it deserves!

I'm sure that obnoxious guy from their ads showed up on the scene and started yelling at the poor driver for spilling so much beer.

5. I'd like to offer a moment of silence

in rememberance of the loss of beer, and the good times they good have produced if they had only been given the same chance other beers get. So tragic.....

7. In tribute to the driver I wrote a song:

46,368 bottles of beer in a truck
46,368 bottles of beer
The truck falls down
The beer falls on the ground
A bunch of really drunk Canadians have the beer

8. "In other news, President Bush has planned an emergency trip

to Nova Scotia for what aides only described as 'humanitarian aid.'"
