Lifestyle advice from the pub

I found a notice in a pub.

"A popular and distinctive premium beer, brewed with finest malt and hops for a well-balanced character"
So that’s where I’ve been going wrong; To become well-balanced I must drink.

Cheers.

A well balanced charater would be a capital "A". It is broad at the base and narrow at the top - it is unlikely to fall over. "T" on the other hand is asking for trouble.

I disagree! Having worked with typographic blocks I can say that the T is very stable, as it also has a T shaped contact area with the surface it rests upon, so that it is braced in both directions.

Besides, I like T. It's one of my initials. I'm not tense about my initials....

Braced in both directions? There was me thinking we live in a 3D world! ;-)

As an engineer I feel I must comment that the "T" is not adequately reinforced for wind loading. It needs some cross bracing.
