Two Beers Funny   (+5, -1)  [vote for, against]
A scale for rating humor, similar to Two Cats Mad

Pretty simple: if something is only funny after you've had two beers then it's two-beers-funny. Good jokes--the kind Ian writes for Rods Tiger--are funny even without beer, so one might exclaim "Hey, that's no-beers funny!" A joke (or Halfbakery idea) whose only merit is that it includes a toilet might be greeted by a long silence, followed by "OK, I find that ten-beers funny. Now go away."

five beers beauty - five or more beers before that ugly chick you saw when you walked in and thought "no way!" - then becomes "desireable".

Initially i thought this was some surreal Orwell thing - sort of `two legs bad` crossed with `doubleplus ungood`...

However, what with it being friday afternoon, and having just read globaltourniquet`s contribution, i think it best if i just go home and lie down for a bit...

What about my seven-year-old, though? He finds anything toilet-related funny, but he's too young to drink.
