Herold:…pony neck beer for one and all

it was Father's Day. The day when the men of the family get together with their male friends and hang out.

Driving along, up a hill, into a tiny village…. I see a group of men gathered near the corner where the regional bus stops.  Apparently their car (an SUV) has broken down and two bikers have stopped to help.  The men are older, comfortable, stocky grandfather types. The bikers are younger. As I drive by I notice that all of the older men are sitting on a bench… and each  of them including the bikers has a pony-neck bottle of beer in his hand. As I drive by, they raise their beer bottles to me in salute…  product placement at its best!!  All I can do is laugh.
