ALCOHOLICS & AUTOMOBILES!!!

Jack Daniels bottles are slanted to keep them from sliding out from underneath the car seat when pulled over by police...

Okay...before we get started with the tortuous toddler minded tidbit...I have some very exciting new to share with all of you...who have been faithful readers for so long...and supported me mentally...if NOT always financially...I applied for an editor's position with a company that boasts over 1,000 digital and physical print magazines...I did this without the hope of even being considered...since I did NOT possess the same overpriced shiny pieces of paper as the rest of the applicants that were also applying...as part of the application process I was given an article to EDIT and spice up...out of over 90+ highly qualified...and I might add...at this moment probably VERY upset...individuals that were vying for this position...the EDITED article I submitted warranted a response in the form of an initial phone interview...at the scheduled time of the interview I received a call from the employer...the interview was extremely brief...and I was informed that we would have to reschedule the remainder of the interview for later that afternoon or evening...(did you hear the death bell toll...I sure did...figured that was the last I would hear from them and that they had decided to accept someone else...needless to say the rest of that day passed without a return call...I woke up the following morning...which was Wednesday of this week...and checked my email as I normally do to see if I had landed any other projects to occupy my time with...the first email I noticed was from the company that I had applied to...(yeah...that's what I thought too...you SOB...couldn't even tell me on the phone that you were gonna go with someone else more qualified)...instead it was an email informing me they had heard enough and that I was hired...with zip file attached...so as of now I am NO longer bidding on useless projects that pay very little...I will be working 40 hours a week and then some for a modest hourly rate for the rest of this month...the phone call I received today...after turning in a few of my initial assignments informed that as soon as next month they would like to discuss offering me a salaried position...what's the moral of this story???  PERSEVERANCE!!!  NEVER...NEVER... NEVER sell yourself short or give up...NOW...about this idiot with the misinformation about alcohol containers...if a bottle were specifically designed to prevent a sliding effect when a vehicle is being brought to a STOP after being pulled over by the police...it stands to reason the damn thing wouldn't have fit under there in the first place...it's really rather simple...IF something fits into a vacant location...it WILL be able to be removed...provided it doesn't have the possibility of swelling or expanding...have another drink there ree ree...and here's the real kicker that proves this moron's mother is the ONLY one that could love them..it is NOT illegal to drive a vehicle with a bottle of alcohol in it...it's ONLY illegal to drive after drinking from the bottle itself...you DUMBASS...here's a novel idea...maybe the bottle was designed as NOTHING more than a way to transport smaller quantities of liquor as opposed to the whole damn barrel...having been an imbiber of this spirited beverage from time to time and knowing a little more about history than this mental midget will EVER be able to figure out...the Jack Daniels Distillery came into existence in 1866...at least 3 decades before ANYONE could even think of drinking and driving...since the automobile was a figment of the imagination in 1866...and seein how fire water was a huge bargaining tool with the native indigenous tribal people of America at that time...it ONLY made sense to modify how it was distributed...rather than trade a whole barrel for a couple of rifles...distributors and bartering agents could get more for their booze in return for the trade...you know what will keep a Jack Daniels bottle from sliding out from underneath the seat if you should get pulled over...STORE it in the trunk...take it from me...I've witnessed this technique firsthand while riding in a vehicle with an individual that personified alcoholism to a 'T'...although they were not actually driving the vehicle...it was their preferred method of travel...when they were sober enough to enter a vehicle of their own accord...listen...if you're driving around with a bottle of Jack Daniels under the driver's seat of your vehicle...you have far greater problems than worrying about being pulled over by the police...like being scraped up off the freeway at some point...have a great weekend folks!!!
