And for all you math whizzes: Use Calculus responsibly. Don't drink and derive. Sorry. I had to do it.
I worked 4pm-2am, and let me tell you; drunk people are not at all amusing when you're sober yourself.
Then again, Bruce, if you're on the scene then by definition you're not seeing them at their best. Hope all was as well as could be expected, though!
I was the DD last night and I concur with Bruce, friends when drunk are barely tolerable. 2011 kicked my butt, here's to hoping for a much better 2012.
Hey, Bruce & friendorfoe . . . what's this with the pencils? At my friendly local DUI police roadblock last night, coming home from dancing, when I passed (my glass of Martinelli's apple cider having left me lucid), I was handed a nice new pencil, imprinted, "I SURVIVED THE EL CERRITO POLICE NEW YEAR'S ROADBLOCK." Charming, actually. But are there people who, next year, will turn down that third Sex on the Beach in hopes of getting a pencil?
Happy New Year! Drink and Don't drink can definitely bring down the number of accidents. I heard of a funny taxi story about a delivery company having a dinner and dance, when they finished, they went home in seven vehicles and all was caught at the road blocks and had their licenses suspended. In the end the delivery company needs to hire new staff
I know a senior officer who made his staff give out apples for drivers doing the right thing. I can only conclude that he got them cheap or had a fruitshop himself. Needless to say apples can be thrown. Guess what happen after they passed through the testing zone. The next year things were a lot more serious and there were no giveaways, but the senior officer was not there either.
