To all you OTs out there, how many empty bottles of beer are on top of
the table at this time where my keyboard and monitor sits? I'm going
to bed now so I will check who got the right answer in the morning.

I only see 3 on the table, but, there are suspicious (unrecycled)
glassy glints in the opaque trashcan under his table.

None! If they're empty, they obviously aren't "bottles of beer" :-)
You could have said "empty beer bottles" but for some reason (maybe
because you were drunk?) - you used the more awkward phrasing.
If this is a test it's too easy.

6 empty Heineken bottles?

My OT senses are dulled this morning due to BT infestation.

You went out for a beer, so there are none.

There is a 'Gluten free Beer' (Coeliac disease), are there also 'Thetan free Beers'?

I don't rate Unser beer very highly. A nice try, but no cigar. The
Ueli beer here is good so long as you steer clear of the Lager hell
which is way too bland and watery for my taste. My favourite is the
Ueli spezial in bottles. The draft form is the Ueli Reverenz spezial
which is slightly cloudy and I most often drink that.

They sell it here. I often go straight there after work though I have
some shopping to do this evening. I might look in afterwards.

That must be some table! Are you collecting them or just waiting for
the right moment to discard them?

I miss drinking a good beer every now and then. I have coeliac/celiac
disease and there is no way I will drink those gluten free ones. So
have one for me Roland. ;)

I chucked them all yesterday in the green bottle recycle bin. They are
33ml bottles -- not large ones. These collections tend to build up
because the recycle bins are quite a distance away because I live bang
in the centre of Basel. You have to recycle them here in Switzerland.
There are more of them to chuck in the lounge and kitchen area.

Sorry to hear about your condition. I'll have one for you.
