New Years Lesson*


With the holidays just behind us I would like to share a personal experience with my family & friends about drinking and driving. As you know, some have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends.
Well, seven days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails, followed by some rather nice red wine. And you know I rarely have anything to drink. Feeling jolly, I still had the sense to know that I may be 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 was a real relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before. I don't even know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it !!!

*While not a "Jon joke" from the collection he left us, it certainly is a Jon joke in spirit. I can hear my Dad telling this one...
