Christmas Drinking Warning

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Christmas Drinking Warning

Posted: 12/20/2016 3:46:08 PM EDT

A warning to all. Be careful about drunk driving as we are getting close to Christmas, and Police are out there checking on people.
Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing lead to another and I had a few too many cocktails and then went onto the wine.
Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave my car at the pub and took a Bus home.
Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint, where they were pulling over drivers and performing breathalyzer tests. Because I was in a Bus they just waved it past.
I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a Bus before and I am not even sure where I got it from. Merry Xmas

I was reading this thinking "This is a smart, responsible guy, I should try to be like him" Then I read the ending and thought "Well, I'm already there then."

My experience is that they won't look twice at a police car, either.

You better not be driving while you are surfing arfcom and drinking.

There isn't enough room for both of us on the sidewalk.

Reading that, my first thought was "who rides a bus anymore? Don't you have Uber?"

And thanks for dropping me off at my house, too.
It's a long walk from the regular bus stop.
The six-pack help to pass the time, too!!!!

45 years ago I worked at a gas station. Nothing sadder than having some guy stop by the station and ask "Did I leave my car here last night?". They had no idea where they had even gone drinking or left their vehicle.

I hopped in a cab the other night and was waved through a checkpoint too.

Imagine my surprise when I found it the next morning, parked kinda crooked in my driveway!

Ummm . . . I don't own nor drive a cab!
