Pears, eh?  You just don't know what the humble pear can be until
you've sampled Paul Zimmermann's pear schnapps. HS! Blow the top of
your head off!  I gather he makes it every year, methods and
quantities closely regulated by German law. Paul and his drinking
buddies will probably live to 110. If they can survive drinking that,
The Guy on the Black Horse doesn't stand a chance.
