Bizarre News - Wednesday, June 15, 2011

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

I read a story recently about a drunk who fell asleep in his car, at a traffic light. The police noticed the car stopped in front of a green light and when they investigated they found the driver asleep, with his foot still on the brake pedal!

Now that's a fun night.

Like most people I am amused by these kinds of stories, but the whole thing takes on another meaning when it is a loved one who gets behind the wheel.

I hardly ever drink any more, but I still have two sons in college. Last weekend one of them asked to borrow my wife's car and the story of the drunk asleep at the stop light popped into my head.

I have educated my sons the best I know how and I trust that they are not complete idiots, but sometimes a 20-year-old is a 20-year-old. A DWI could ruin his life for years (and cost me thousands of dollars), or God forbid he hurts himself or someone else.

That is why I got him one of these. The Digital Alcohol Breath Checker is small enough to fit on your keychain and can detect approximate blood alcohol levels in seconds. It's compact, lightweight, and easy to use. And most importantly it could save you a DWI or even your life or that of a loved one.

Think of it as a deterrent. You'll never think to yourself again, "Eh, I'm good enough to have one more." With the Digital Alcohol Breath Tester in your pocket you'll KNOW when enough is enough.

Bizarrely,

Lewis--Here in West Virginia we get people killed every now and then trying to steal copper from phone and power lines. We call it the occasional gene pool cleansing.

Lewis- I wonder if that woman was Antsy McClain's inspiration for his song "My Baby Whistles When She Walks". -WV Dave

Hello Lewis: Dr. Corsi has recently publshed a book about the Presidents birth certificate. I have not read any of his books because I had never heard of him before this weekend although I was told about this theory years ago. -JT
[I couldn't care less about the president's birth certificate unless it somehow contributes to solving the energy crisis.]

Lewis, Search for info on the Bakken oil field in Montana and North Dakota. -Roger
[You're talking about oil shale and there are hundreds of billions of tons of it under the ground, but it is the most
expensive and dirtiest type of oil to extract, even more so
than the oil sands found in Canada. There is an informative issue of Living Green about that very topic you can read entitled: The Oil Shale Myth]

Great stuff to read twice a week. Given human peculiarities, it is hardly surprising that there is enough material for two column, in fact, there probably is enough material for 20 or 30 columns per day. -Jo Allen
