It's the latest viral sensation.
More than 700,000 clicks on a YouTube video of the German chancellor, Angela Merkel getting showered in beer by a rather unlucky waiter.
CNN's Jeanne Moos has the story.
It's one thing when you spill a drink on yourself, or when a basketball star collides with a fan who ends up wearing his coffee,
but what are the chances of a waiter dumping beer on the chancellor of Germany -- not one glass or two, but five glasses of beer?
Germany's leader, Angela Merkel, flinched, but barely.
In fact, her flinch from five beers seemed less pronounced than her cringe that time that President Bush gave her a surprise back rub.
The German paper Das Bild interviewed the 21-year-old waiter who dumped beer on the chancellor, and he said someone behind him shoved him.
One aid clapped her hands to her face. Another passed a dry jacket down the table. But Chancellor Merkel stayed cool. And the next thing you know, she was toasting.
At the moment he dropped the beer, the waiter says he also dropped a curse word -- dropped it loudly, but the chancellor just grinned at him.
At least he didn't try to clean her up like the guy in the movie Old School.
Ow! Ow! Jesus.
I, I, I am so sorry. Please, just right... (No. Don't touch. Mitch, really.) Just, uh, I can fix it.
But what's a few glasses when winning football coaches routinely get doused with entire coolers of Gatorade?
The waiter who showered Germany's chancellor told Das Bild he was still reliving the incident in slow motion like that Carlton beer commercial.
For Chancellor Merkel, there are worse things than beer that you could suddenly find dripping down your back.
At least when your kid does this to you it isn't cold.
