IWS #177 - Results

[Butter]

Well, the World Tour has ended, and the results are in.

1. The tour begins in Ireland, where you arrive at the local pub. To your horror, you discover that a local has drank the pub completely out of Guinness. After setting this man on fire, what beer do you order instead of Guinness?

It was a close race throughout, but Murphy's squeaks by with the win.

Murphy's	5
Killian's	4
Harp	3
Budweiser	3
Beamish	2
Smithwick's	2
Heineken	1
Newcastle	1
Bass	1
Boddingtons	1

2. Good and drunk, you stagger to the airport, only to find your flight has been canceled. The good news is, you have a free voucher to any location in Europe. The bad news is, you only have time to see one historical landmark. Which historical landmark, in continental Europe, do you go see?

Dealbreaker #1

Eiffel Tower	21
Colosseum	1
Leaning Tower of Pisa	1

3. You've seen a bit of history, you've been drunk with the locals, now it's time to see the "wildlife". Which country do you fly to to see the hottest women?

Dealbreaker #2 -- The United Kingdom, btw????

Sweden	13
Brazil	5
Italy	2
France	1
United Kingdom	1
Amsterdam	1

4. You continue on your fantasy tour, now with hot companions! You decide it's time to seal the deal with these lovely ladies, but they insist on being wined and dined lavishly as you continue your tour. Unfortunately, your idea of wining and dining consists of taking the ladies to a Japanese baseball game and sampling the beer and food there. Which Japanese baseball team do you call to score tickets?

DealBreaker #3

Yomiuri Giants	18
Chunichi Dragons	2
Orix BlueWave	1
Osaka	1
Yakult Swallows	1

5. A few dozen Kirin beers and a hungover morning later, you realize that your new hot companions are actually not as hot as you thought. You decide to hop out on the next early morning flight to some friendly surroundings and get while the gettin' is good. Which United States territory do you hide in?

Surprised I didn't get any USA answers:

Guam	10
Virgin Islands	5
Puerto Rico	4
Hawaii	2
Montana	1
Alaska	1

6. After a couple of drying up days on the beach, it's time to call it a week and head home. But the only flight home you can afford connects through Australia. Which airline do you take from Australia back to the good ol' US of A?

Qantas	16
United	3
Delta	3
American	1

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Can not believe with all of the great landmarks in Europe the Eiffel Tower took all but 2.

To me that was the most obvious answer, with the Swedish girls being second.

Haha well I chose Leaning Tower of Pisa because I wanted nothing to do with England or France. Send me to Italy.

That was me. I did mean to put Holland, but, my mind was on the Dutch women in Amsterdam...no, not the ones in the windows.

If stupid knew anything about Ireland they would have picked it. It's their number one beer...
