Title: Holiday advice
Post by: Baha (Shawn) on December 17, 2012, 10:05:09 pm
Please be careful during the holiday parties

I would like to share a personal experience with all of you about drinking and driving.

As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had a couple of cocktails and some rather nice red wine.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a cab home. Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.

Now the cops will be at your door for grand theft. You shouldf call them and see if it was reported missing.

Or call them and tell them there is a caab in my driveway someone must have dumped it there.

I know what you mean Shawn. A couple of times I left the Stony Pony and took a room at the Berkely Hotel in Asbury Park. One time they let me park my HD right in the lobby.  &^beer&

Was that AFTER you had already parked it there?  #@rofl3 #@rofl3 #@rofl3

Yes!! I guess they saw what shape I was in, didn't call the cops. I remember paying for the room, but that's about all. That's going back many,many years. As a matter infact Johnny Cash and his wife owned it.
