Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel
ashamed.  Then Ilook into the glass and think about
the workers in the brewery and all of
their hopes and dreams.  If I didn't  drink
this beer, they might be out of
work and  their dreams would be
shattered.  I think, "It is better to drink
this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver.."

Hi All,

I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and
driving........  As you well know, some of us 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.







Happy Holidays!
Be
Responsible!

The American Medical Association has weighed in on the Obama
health care proposals.

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised
not  to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort
of a gut  feeling about it, but the Neurologists
thought the Administration had a  lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under
a misconception.  Ophthalmologists considered the
idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled,  "Over my dead body!"
while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness,
while the  Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons
decided to wash their  hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a
bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new
face on  the matter...."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were 
pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists
thought the whole  idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have
the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire
decision up to the assholes in Washington .
