Eight Drunks In The Car, And The Officer Said, "Pull Over!"
The first entry in this little news briefs thingy is what I’m interested in. I’ll try to tell the story as best I can without breaking out into barrages of “you idiots!” Eight numbskulls didn’t want to pay a cab fare. Many of them had been sucking back the booze. Luckily, the driver *was* sober. …
