I'd be so embarrased." The older nun says "Just watch how a pro does it and learn something, my young sister." So she picks out a six pack and puts it on the counter. The clerk looks at the beer and looks at the sister. The sister says "I've heard that beer is very good for the hair, it adds body and conditioning." The clerks says "yeah, right" and rings her up. Before she is able to leave the clerk tosses a bag of pretzels into her bag. She says "Hey, what's the deal, I didn't ask for those." The clerk winks - "Curlers" These two nuns walk into a market (Broadway Market?) and the younger one says to the older one “I sure would like a nice cold beer, but I don’t know – what would the clerk (the Babe?) say?

Beer wine and all the various derivatives had a very serious function until very recently. Fresh sweet water was virtually impossible to get hold. Which left towns and other large settlements with a bit of a problem. Even today, in parts of Africa, people travel well outside the area of their settlement to source water. Its not that they cannot dig a hole nearer. But it is virtually impossible to dig below the first polluted aquifer to the second. This was where the beer/wine came in to very effectively disinfect the water. The phrase 'small beer', described someone who could not afford full strength from the brewer and therefore safe beer.
