    I'm not so sure about that.
    A friend of mine once took a drinking and driving test for the State Police.
    They did this using a driving simulator much like the vidio games where you race,pass cars,miss objects in the road,Etc.You know the kind.
    The test involved taking one shot of acohol,waiting ten minutes,than driving thru the game.
    They did this ten times to see how many shots before they became dangerous on the road.
    Well by the time my friend completed his tenth drink,he was driving better than after his first.
    I'm sure they are still trying to figure that one out.

    However,I would not advise trying this and really driving.

    Yeah! LOL! I saw that episode too. WKRP in Cincinatti, right? The episode where Johnny Fever and D.J. Venus Flytrap have a cop on the show that tests their reflexes after drinking to show why you shouldn't drink & drive -- and he gets faster & faster after each drink!

    Darn good show!

    The last time that happened to me I literally took out the TRASH and deposited the offending person in the dumpster. But I dont recommend that approach to everyone.

    Well, I recently wore my kilt into a local biker bar. After the first 2 steps, I had been "kilt checked" 3 times, then the jokes started... All of the usual ones... Nice skirt, where can I get a dress like that... ect, ect, ect... So I smile, get a drink, then proceed to tell them about the difference between a kilt and a skirt... It's as easy as this. When your old lady come home, it's alot easier for me to run away with my kilt up than my pants down... After the laughter stopped, a lady comes up to me and asks me if it's true...I told her that it was easier to run in a kilt... She laughed and so did some of the biggest guys that you will ever see. I'm 6'2, 260 pounds and I feel small and skinny next to most of these guys. But I would trust my life to almost any of them. And they were astonished to hear that UK makes a black leather kilt... Hmmm... Bikers in black leather kilts... Now there's a new nightmare for the local church ladies...

    Most of the bikers I have met while kilted were very accepting. Sure, there might have been some good natured ribbing, but some of them have their own kilts. After all, Harley Davidson has its own tartan, ITI 5816.

    I did that at a radio station I worked for a couple of years ago. My co host who is 6-8 and weighs 270 was drinking beer and I at 6-0 and 260 was drinking screwdrivers. After three hours we went next door to the go-cart track, accompanied by a couple of local cops who were helping us with the breethalizer and drunk tests. My co-host barfed all over the go cart, and I couldn't operate the pedals. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!

    However,it was nice to get blasted on the bars tab!

    The only time a biker ever called my kilt a skirt, I turned right around and called his bike a scooter. His friends then laughed and prodded him along his way.

    Man, if you and I were to walk into a bar... you think anyone would say a word to either of us?

    Unlikely, sir. However, as a small confession, a mere second after I said it, I was absolutely POSITIVE I was going to die and started cursing my lack of a brain-to-mouth filter.
