Tops Down

Carrie Anne Brennan
from a wee village just outside of Owen Sound, Ontario:

""Tops Down!"

My submission for our cheer when toasting is "tops down!" Grammatically speaking when drinking the top, or the head of the beer, or even the liquor at the rim, is the first part of the drink to go down. Plus it goes well with the common British saying, known all around the world, of "bottoms up!". If you think about it, it is easier to drink the drink going tops down rather than bottoms up!

Plus I can see the new beer ad with lots of lovely ladies wearing red tube tops and white and red Maple leaf shorts, the music's playing and the camera zooms in on a group of girls in a circle with drinks lifted to the sky and the other hand on the top of the red halter top. The announcer says "tops down!", the girls toast and drink, and then the camera zooms in on one hand, on one red halter top....waiting ..waiting..you know what is going to happen...the guys holler just as the screen fades to black.

Thank you,"

Thanks!
