Would you like some Diet Coke to go with that whiskey?

Ok, so I am returning some movies to Blockbuster; when on the way home I get a hankerin' for a Big Buford.

Make a quick run through Rally's, order my #1 with a Diet Coke. Pay the lady and go.

Now, I don't have the coordination to eat and drive; but I can take a sip of my soda every now and then without showing the rusty side of my Malibu. If ya know what I am saying.

I take a sip, and instantly this warm fuzzy feeling washes over me. Hum, haven't experienced that since my sinful days o'youth. Memories surface that I had long ago buried. So, not quite sure what just happened; I take another sip. Gotta love that curosity.

Yep~there is whiskey in my Diet Coke. To confirm this, I take it to my parents (mind you I will be 30 in Feb. & I do know what whiskey tastes like) and invite my mother to take a swig and without saying a word to her about what I suspect; she tells me what I already know. Daddy seconds.

There is whiskey in my Diet Coke.

So we call Rally's. They get ugly. They are too busy to take our call. They assure us everyone will be searched before leaving tonight. blah blah blah

Then, I take it to the police sub-station. Tell my story to the cop, she wants to know how I know what is in the cup. Well, normally when people order a soda, they do take a drink of it. And I am an adult of legal age, I have had whiskey before. Einstein.

I give her the soda. She opens the lid and immediately smells the funny juice and then proceeds to ask me for my ID. Oh, we are having some fun now. She then takes the soda inside the station and speaks with an officer there. They are trying to decide what type of whiskey spiked my Diet Coke. They mention Crown Royal, Jim Beam, so on.

She then walks up to me and proceeds to say:

"It's just cherry Coke. There is not whiskey in your drink."

Must have not had the time for me. Wonder what would have happened if I were a minor?
And we ask ourselves ~ what is wrong with the world today?
Gives a new meaning to drinking and driving.
