thesultanofsheight Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Someone should write to the Examiner and say they're leaving the island because of all the dangerous pissheads on the road. It was only the other night in the pub that we were all daring each other to write a letter to the Examiner about how some shit thing was forcing us to leave the Island. Dangerous pissheads would be a good one. The only things we could find to pin blame on were: a. Horsetrams b. The cost and quality of bread c. Roundabouts I don't think any of those arguments would be very convincing although you look as mad as any of the other losers who have written in on the same subject recently.

Tempus Fugit Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 had this sent a while ago The Aussie Drink Driver (True Story) Drink Driving... THIS is absolutely brilliant! Only an Aussie could pull this one off! From the state where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication. The police officer said 'I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station - this breathalyser equipment must be broken.' 'I doubt it,' said the man, 'tonight I'm the designated decoy'.
