On the table was a sign: Admittance: 5 Euros. They actually collected money from the unsuspecting revelers; in fact, they hounded those who tried to pass through without paying up. A rotten (though funny) joke, indeed, but worse...they kept the proceeds!<br> <br> Heads-up for Messe newbies: There is no cover charge at the Maritim bar!<br> <br> _________________<br> GEORGE'S NOTE: Unfortunately, this story is true and Michael's posting here is included, unedited, because we at Mix aren't afraid of the truth, however embarrassing the memory. The REAL moral here: Americanos who visit Germany and are unaccustomed to the taste of real beer should be very careful on the number of drinks they put away, lest either: <br> A). They decide to set up an admission table at a bar in a foreign country. <br> OR<br> B). They don't think there's anything strange about paying <br> 5 Euros to a bunch of Yanks to enter a German bar!
