A man suffering from alcoholism was sitting at home lamenting his situation. He had recently gone through a divorce, his children had decided to live with their mother, and he had lost his job. Glancing at the garbage, he noticed a case of empty beer bottles resting on top. He walked over to the trash, picked up an empty and smashed it, yelling "You are the reason I lost my wife!" Picking up and smashing a second, he screamed "You are the reason I lost my kids!" After smashing a third bottle, he cried "You are the reason I lost my job!" Suddenly, the man looked down to see a full, unopened bottle of beer in the trash. Picking it up, he placed it in his pocket and said, "Stand aside friend, I know you were not involved."
