Yesterday InBev shareholders officially approved the AB buyout.  The real issue that has St. Louisans concerned isn't the impact on the local economy or jobs, but what will become of the Clydesdales.  Well, friends, herein lies the good news of the buyout.  What better way to "reign in" the rising costs of fuel than by getting rid of your gas guzzler in the garage and replacing it with an out of work Clydesdale?  By putting an unemployed Clydesdale to work you will not only save money on gas, you will also gain a friend for life.

Some of you who participate in a car pool at work may be thinking, "What a great idea, but how would this work for me and my car pool buddies?"  Don't worry, Clydesdales are work horses so you can attach a carriage to your new friend/ride and in no time your car pool group will stop being angry over the stink from Harry's onion bagel and start enjoying the open air ride from the driver's seat or carriage.  And just think of the cost savings you will reap when you split the price of hay per week as opposed to gas.  

Without the car in the garage you can easily convert the space to boarding quarters for your new Clydesdale.  The neighborhood kids are sure to love it, and cleaning out the garage has never been so interesting.  As an added benefit of taking in an out of work Clydesdale your new horse can help dramatically offset soaring food prices by helping you grow your own food (trust me, you will have enough fertilizer).

St. Louis drivers, there has never been a better time to buy a Clydesdale.  Save on gas, save on food, and help put these iconic stallions back into the work force.
