My Own Personal Tale Regarding Drinking and Driving this Holiday Season
Reaganite Republican ^ | 22 December 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 12/22/2012 5:25:53 AM PST by Reaganite Republican

With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends 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... we all love to have a good time.

Well, a couple days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly 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 came as a real surprise to me, since I had never driven a cab before -don't know where I got it- and now that it's in my garage I really don't know what to do with it...

Once upon a time, conservatives were not so sensitive and PC as the left. Those days are gone. For every one of us that read it, LOL’s and had the presence of mind to take it in context, another had to get ‘offended’.

So let’s all just start being libs since it seems we are headed that way adopting their behavior anyway.

No more gun at the bottom of a lake jokes, no more jokes/pix of people with ANY color and cat pix will offend PETS.

Now go get ready for the 2 min hate since we’ve always been at war with EastAsia.

I am. Ironic that you’re not, given your moniker. Lighten up Francis!

I also have a huge sense of humor. I’ve been having this same problem since November 6th. People are in a very foul mood in this country and nobody wants to laugh anymore. I guess I can’t blame them. I got this in an email yesterday and thought it was funnier than ...heck.

Once you stop laughing, you’re cooked... tell me WHO is effective at anything when they’re miserable

Reagan was the HAPPY warrior- there’s a lesson in that for any beat-down by the deeply disappointing election result

I shudder to think that there are young people on the roads who drink, text and drive. They might even be drinking in the car at the same time. The future belongs to who?

Wanna see the proof of it? Check out the Not Guilty threads.

Makes me sick that people can’t just take an obvious joke as an obvious joke. I need to just form a country of me and tell everyone to go to hell. If only it were possible.

I literally beg to differ.

I was out on the lake yesterday on my boat with my dog, cat and all my guns....

Then the boat tipped.....

My guns disappeared to the murky bottom....

The dog drowned the cat trying to stay afloat...

So the dog and I used the now dead cat as a floatation device to kick our way to shore....

Desperate to stay warm, we lured a moose close to us with a piece of cheese I found in my pocket...

Killed the moose and used it carcass to warm the dog and myself....

Fortunately, my sister (who had been showering since last Tuesday) stopped by in her car and picked us up ....

Alas for my guns and Fluffy....sniff

One of the things that Obama and the Democrats have been very successful at is making everybody in this country miserable. It’s been their dream for a long, long time. I’m not going to play along with them.
