During Christmas break one year while at college, I worked for two weeks at a Post Office in Brooklyn. The letter carrier was a great guy (the people on the route loved him). Several of them even tried to give me Christmas money as a tip, and I told them I would give it to the regular guy...and then they said that they already gave to him and this was for me! Salt of the Earth people...mixed neighborhood of Italians, Irish, Poles and Jews in Flatbush.

OK--lemme get to my point: after delivery each day we went to a bar in the nabe where my guy was well-known (while I was only 18 y/o at the time, that was the legal age in NY then). It was Holiday Cheer every day...

No money for Del Taco I guess (anyone knows when the alcohol munchies hit - its In-N-Out or Del Taco only..NO EXCEPTIONS)

“According to online court records, Pflughaupt has three convictions for operating while intoxicated, including one just three months ago. Her prison sentence was suspended in that incident.”

It appears this was not her first rodeo.....

I wouldn`t drink that **it if they paid $0.50 a can deposit.

She's a lot cuter when she isn't plastered.

Makeup helps, too.

I dunno...breaking and entry on an unlocked door while in an altered state? Theft for a pack of noodles?

Any barely competent lawyer could produce a truckload of reasonable doubt due to her level of inebriation.

I've had drunken noodles, in Thailand as a matter of fact. That's good eats.

I've never actually had them when I was drunk, though. :-))

Postal Service employees should always be armed with noodles ... as opposed to guns.
