It's all in the pronunciation...
 
Childrens' story books -

Goldilocks and the Three Beers - no, not a story about an underage drinker :)
We're Going on a Beer Hunt - nothing to do with searching for somewhere to buy alcohol :)

Animals -
Polar Beer - an animal found in the Arctic, not a beverage found in The Ice Bar

Any more? :thumbsup:

The Beertles were a very popular group from Liverpool in the 60's and produced some great songs for children too.

The other day my wife said that the dick was looking a bit tired. No worries I said, just help me giving the dick a good old oiling and it will come back up! Good as new.

It's an old one, but a good one! :D

Apparently lots of people commute by fairies that go to Downtown Auckland on a regular basis.

Conversely, Ear New Zealand have got an Earpoints ferry, seemingly this ferry is capable of granting wishes. :lol:
