| #10 Yes, drinking beer can do many good things. Beer contains all the daily requirements of vitamin B(eer). Beer is also used as a catalysts in the consumption of pizza and salted snacks. And now back to our program. |

| #9 I bought a sixpack of Carlsberg for the watching of the Superbowl. Never realised that drinking beer could make you feel virtuous. |

| #8 it will take time to go around that contract, too. I should think a day as the contract must have been breached in some form. Let's hope they don't have a 60 day cure period. The other lesson out of this may be don't do business with Arabs/Muzzies when alternatives are available. That guy in Detroit will be sorry in 2 years, if not months. |

| #7 Actually, the big Danish dairy co-op Arla supplied much of the butter and cheese throughout the ME, so it's not surprising that there's a market among expats too. This boycott is costing them well over $1million per day. over 300 people have been laid off so far in Denmark and the toll will rise rapidly. The guy in Detroit who holds the exclusive rights to import some of Arla's products into the US is refusing to buy from them -- it will take time to go around that contract, too. |

| #6 Muslims in Kanadastan. That's a market segment to reckon with. Did the Kuebeckers join in? |

| #5 Buy Danish *and* Israeli. I was disappointed in the selection of Danish goods at Jungle Jim's, but managed to pick up some Mediterra feta in olive oil and some Israeli persimmons. Damned good, both of them. |

| #4 I'm just on my way to the grocery store, and I'll make point of picking up some Danish canned ham and cheese. Pity you can't buy smoked Danish herring here. I'm kinda partial to it. |
