Beer gets seatbelt. Child doesn'tThis is yet another reason why there should be a test and license to earn before you have kids. I don't really support that, but it's cases like this that make such arguments gain support. How can you be more concerned about a 24-pack then your own flesh and blood? As my mother has told me on countless occasions, you can replace the booze, but you can't replace the child. Amazing.

Riding around with a driver that has crack pipes in her purse. Obviously rather irresponsible, but at least she rode in the back seat, so she would be the SECOND one to the accident instead of the first. She reserved that honor for the front seat driver and the beer.

I am reminded of a recent experiment conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board. They installed modified versions of cockpit voice recorders in a large number of cars around the country.
There was little surprise when they learned that in the vast majority of cases across the nation, the most commonly uttered phrase just prior to a vehicle accident was "Oh shit!"
However, they were a bit more surprised to learn that in Texas, the most common phrase was "Hold my beer and watch this!"

And there are wonderful women out there praying to have children like my daughter who can't have any. Something not right with this picture.

Thanks, I got a million of 'em.
As it turns out, the German counterpart to our NTSB conducted a study using brain-wave analysis devices mounted in randomly selected vehicles. It came as no surprise to discover that at any given time, 28% of the Germans on the road were thinking about sex.
What was a surprise, however, was learning that the other 72% were thinking about invading France again.
(oh gee, and I just apologized to the Germans, too)
