Rattler Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ok. Here's the deal... After work, I gathered up my boys, and went to my wife's work to pick her up. We proceeded to the local grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner, and then went to the local liquor store for some wine (for her) and beer (for me: she hates beer.) I picked up a half dozen Guiness Extra Stout, which the locals tend to store in the refrigerator to cool (I don't know why: Guiness loses its flavour when cool! At least I think so...) Anyway, I made the purchase and we all piled into our mini-van for the short trip home. Before starting off, I took one of the bottles of Guiness and put it into my coat to "thaw." That's when the inevitable happened... It's slippery on the roads in town, as we've recently had some more snow. It was also just after work, so the roads were busy. The traffic ahead of me stopped for a left turning vehicle, and I had to stop quickly, but had no trouble. I instinctively looked in the mirror if someone was going to hit me, and sure enough...BANG! Sigh! Anger! Ok, no big deal, no one was hurt. Get out, tell him I'm pulling over to the side, and exchange information... Guess what falls out onto the street!! I'm glad it was dark and no one else saw it, but I'm down 1 beer already, and I need to begin thawing another!! As one of our beloved Hell Hounds says..."Aw Crap!"

JensenPark Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 yikes - good thing 1) no one was hurt and 2) it was a can I assume and not a bottle. You shoulda' had the wife crawl around through the snow and look for the beer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay Rattler, My advice to you is; if you plan to use this line when you get pulled over next time, make sure you rehearse it a number of times to yourself so it comes out naturally.
