Might be a good lesson for some.
With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving.
As you may know some of us 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 two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly 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 surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.

(12,132 posts)We stopped questioning how "that" got "there" a looooong time ago.
From the dead mouse to the not-so-well hidden latex/bondage fetish pictures*, we just don't wanna know.
*Not nearly as exciting as it sounds. He was old and kinda fat. I'm really just glad I never had to face his wife again after the discovery. She seemed so shy and demure at the company Christmas party.

(12,132 posts)was a manager (why is it always the managers? My guess is the regular folks are too busy working to surf the net) that called up and said "I don't know what happened. I got an email and I clicked on it and all these porn windows started popping up.....I wasn't sure what happened...so I clicked it again!"
We still gather around the coffee pot and laugh about that.

(2,675 posts)I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs:
* Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
* She has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."
* I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?
* I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.
I decided I was going to park my Harley next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that the valve covers on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?
Thanks in advance.
