A Cautionary Tale
With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personalexperience with my friends & fellow bloggers about drinking and driving.
As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with
the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social
session" out with friends.
Well, three days ago I was out for an evening with friends and
had several beers, followed by some rather nice red wine.
Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be over the
limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before ..
I took a cab home! Sure enough on the way home there was a
police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past.
I arrived home safely without incident.
This was a real relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before.
I don't even know where I got it, and now that it's in my garage I'm unsure quite what to do with it.

Actually no. The were quite nice about it; even pulled my car onto the driveway too.
And knocked on the front door to make sure that my parents knew what I was up to.
Yes, but remember I was not caught. I phoned them and told them I was too drunk to drive home. I did it several times until they got fed up with me and locked me up one night. But I think - though he denies it - my dad was in it with them. They released me in time to get breakfast at home.
