A Typical Drunk’s Mindset

The “lust” of my life sent me this email and I thought I’d share it with you. It sounds sooo typical of us…
Dear friends,

I just read an article on the dangers of heavy drinking….
Scared the sh** out of me.
So that’s it!
After today, no more reading.

A good friend (who sometimes visits here - ah hem) forwarded this to me today (sounds familiar);
The Cuckoo Clock
“Shortly after I got married, I was invited out for a “night out with the boys.” I told the wife that I would be home by midnight… I Promise!

The Lurking Notion
(page 33) “If we are planning to stop drinking, there must be no reservation of any kind, nor any lurking notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol.”
Thinkers Anonymous
“It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then — just to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led […]

Good News Bad News

So there were these two Italian guys, Vito and Angelo. Vito and Angelo were born the same day, the same year, in the same hospital, lived and grew up in the same apartment building on the same block in Brooklyn, NY.
Of course they went to school together, were in the same classes, hung out together, […]

I Could Use The Laugh

From the Grapevine’s Click-A-Joke;
Definite Proof, September 1958, Volume 15 Issue 4
COUNSEL (to police witness): “But if a man is on his hands and knees in the middle of the road, that does not prove he is drunk.”
Policeman: “No, sir, it does not. But this one was trying to roll up the white line!”

Rule # 62 - Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously

From the humor section of the online Grapevine;
The joke of the month from the March Grapevine…
“They got me for a D.U.I. last night,” the drunk raged to his friends. “But I think I’ll win this case. They were profiling!”
“Profiling?” questioned his buddies.
“Yeah, last night the cops were stopping everyone driving on the sidewalk.”
Richard M., Golden, […]

Butt Prints In The Sand

Found at the AA History site;
“Butt Prints In The Sand”
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared..
And I asked the Lord, “What have we here?
Those prints are large and round and neat,
But Lord, they […]

The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, […]
