As a convicted DUI driver**, I can pass along some great ways to beat those
pesky cops when you are driving along so hammered you can't see straight.

1.  If you see a DUI checkpoint, just ram straight through it, then you
don't have to worry about that pesky little DUI...manslaughter charges are
WAYYY easier to beat!

2.  If you hit a telephone pole on the way home...remove the plates from
your brother in laws car, go home and report it stolen.  I mean the paper
work for the stolen car is way easier to deal with then those Pesky DUI
charges.

3.  If you end up in a canal...see above.  But make sure you hold your
breath when removing the plates.  Same reason as above.

4.  Practice, Practice Practice...the more you drive drunk the easier it
will be.  I can now slam a full 1/8th of Jim Beam, do a few jello shooters
and a beer or two and make it home with only a few side swipes!  Before I
practiced, it would be a total disaster on the way home, dogs, children etc.
What a bother to wash that Dalmatian off the grill!  And you wouldn't
believe the mess a three year old can make to the hood ornament!


**(Disclaimer:  This is a joke, I am NOT a convicted DUI driver...I am
however a reformed Deep Air Diver who realized the foolishness of his ways,
and now employ the use of HE on all dives past 130 fsw...being baked on deep
air is tantamount to drunk driving IMHO)

Flame away you deep air fools.
