I'm back. I was day-dreaming about beer (just finished my morning becan too).
I remember seeing some of the beefy German ladies (at least I think they were female) carrying around those huge mugs at the Hofbrauhaus back in '81. We had a football player with us who could only hold up two or three in one hand yet these beer delivery girls could hold five in each hand with a couple on top!
I'm guessing they doubled as the bouncers too...
