Beer Spill

A wonderful (or amazing; cf high vis jkts) traffic report on the radio yesterday. A lorry had shed its load of beer cans near a motorway junction. I tried so hard to come up with some appropriate witticisms, but the barrel clearly needs changing or the pipes need clearing. I imagined all those drivers caught in the long queues foaming at the mouth - if it had been Stella Artois, then it would have been "reassuringly inconvenient". The advice that "all good things that come to those who wait" would not have been well received, even by the Guinness drinkers. The lorry driver himself was probably feeling bitter about it. Further suggestions? - your round, I believe.
