'Beer wenches' ensure fans don't miss a ball

Australia - Cricket-mad Australians at the fifth Ashes test in Sydney this week made sure they missed none of the action by hiring the latest sports accessory, a "beer wench".

Instead of wasting time queueing for cooling beakers of Victoria Bitter, fans paid young women from the modelling agency Sex Bomb Promotions A$65 (about R380) an hour to do it for them.

Alistair Flower told The Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney that he and his friends had hired two beer wenches, dressed in denim hot pants and tight T-shirts, for the first days of the test so they wouldn't miss any of the play.

"We were surrounded by the Barmy Army (British fans) and wanted a couple of glamours in our group," Flower told the newspaper, which labelled the cricket accessory a "beer wench". - Reuters

Good thinking, but with all that beer they will also need a "motorman's friend". This is a device with a receptacle which is strapped to the lower leg, a hose that runs up the pants, connected to a larger hose that is connected to the "waterspout". A man need never stand in line for the men's room with one of these. :)

The Army Air Corps called it a relief tube. It consisted of a fur lined funnel connected to a copper tube vented to the outside of the aircraft.

You think that the "motorman's friend" is nasty? I've heard of some sports fans (who are not elderly) wearing 'depends' to avoid missing a play. In effect that is a grown man choosing to wear and use a diaper!

Those people need help.

If we're going down Latrine Lane...
As you may or may not know, in Philadelphia, they're getting ready to demolish Veteran's Stadium and build a new one.
Now, the Vet has always had a small problem with not enough urinals for the seating. So whenever there's a break between quarters, the lines are out the door.
At some point people started using the sinks as well.
Seriously.
Last time I was there for the Eagles-Redskins game as I was leaving the head, a guy was relieving himself in the trash can.
Everyone walked by him shaking their head and one guy said, "You know, only at the Vet."

I checked the link. Sure, she's not a super model but she's bringing BEER. That counts for a lot.

One could do worse.

Hey let's not lose sight of the thread here.

It's about pretty girls delivering beer!

[blau993]

Right on! And you do, of course, know the history of the St. Pauli girl?

[FreedomCalls]

Uh, actually I don't. I just know it as a cool beer brand. Is there something I should know?

[FreedomCalls]

More.

When the Old Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens, they played their first two years in Memorial Stadium (of Baltimore Colts vintage). I went to see the Ravens-Bungles game, the first season. Made a head call with about five minutes to go in the first half. Thank heaven I wore boots. The sewage was about 3/8 inch deep on the restroom floor. All the commodes and urinals were backed up to overflowing, as were half the sinks. At least nobody had hurled. Yet.

Does anyone know of any NFL Football stadium that doesn't have the same problems?
