Thank you for not endangering our families...

Funny joke. Also word for word a re-post of

Fredtalk: Drinking and Driving,,,,

Which is likely a word for word repost of someone else's post ... and so on and so forth

Hello all, I was hit by a drunk driver and had a massive brain injury. I spent 7 months in the hospital and 1 month in a coma. It changed my life forever and my medical bills were $7.2 million dollars.

It was his 4th DUI and he also had NO car insurance. I am lucky to be alive.

So, if you think your comment is cute...think again.....

I'm sorry about your experience but I have no idea what that has to do with the joke the OP posted. It's old and likely predates your experience. No drivers were harmed in the telling of that joke.

Making fun of drinking and driving is part of WHY we have it as a problem. My accident occurred in 2007 and its irrelevant WHEN it happened. Drinking and driving is WRONG!

If you had nearly died (and was suppossed too), you would have a different opinion. Making light of it only makes others take it less seriously and then someone gets hurt or dies.

Chill dude, drink driving is bad and we all know it...and OP post was a joke...

There are jokes about whites, blacks, asians, amputees, deaf, dumb, intellectually challenged.... Goes on and on.... And that doesnt mean we makes light of racial discrimination, genocide, downs syndrome and on and on....

So relax and dun give the dude grief...

I hardly ever agree with Blue370tt, but I kinda have to here. I don't think that it's an appropriate joke for a forum centered on cars and driving. DUI/DWI is an epidemic that's taken far too lightly in this country.
