4. It's like when a friend of mine got divorced a few years back.

She wanted him to have a breathalyzer interlock on his truck before he could pick up the kids. The judge ruled that since he had never been stopped for DWI, he didn't need one.
Her response was that "She had been the designated driver for 20 years.
That was on a Thursday, the following Monday he was picked up not once but twice for DWI. In the morning on his way to work, and after they let him go, on hi way home that evening..
she went to the judge the next day with her lawyer and said "Well?"

3 years later he died of liver failure.
