Hey, does anyone know about the nose trick with a foamy beer? You can rub a finger on the side of your nose (assuming it displays its normal oiliness) and then put your finger on the foam and the foam dissapears. Guess I’ve been to too many keg parties but it’s a pretty neat phenomenon. Ben

Yeah, but it just leaves you with noseoily beer.
