“Fiels was belted.”
Isn’t “belted” a word they used to use for drinking too much?

It’ a good thing she had a bluetooth for her cell phone to comply with Oregon’s new “hands free” driving law. She could use her hands for less distractful things.

It couldn't have been this woman:
Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.
Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.
[takes coffee]
Little Girl: Oh, won't you sit down?
Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?
Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.
