SANTA FE
New Mexico is taking its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.
The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-D-W-I message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.
The top of the devices feature the state D-W-I slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."
Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.
And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.
The state spent 21 dollars for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catch on.
The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.
Now that is funny!
