    [QUOTE=brettt777;bt99]This is very true about drunks. Some years ago when I worked up in Alaska, many years before I quit drinking, a buddy and I went out drinking all night. We wanted to go to one last bar. I knew I couldn't drive so I let him. Long story short, he hit a telephone pole with my truck. I didn't have a seat belt on so I went right into the windshield. Other than a few scratches and a nice imprint of my face in the glass, I was unhurt. I am quite sure that had I been sober and saw it coming, I would have tensed up and it probably would have broke my neck.[/QUOTE]

    Wow man, lol. That is insane. Glad you're ok though!

    Yay, brother, hang loose - that's the trick!
    I had a guy on my crew who did not mind a brew or two. One Friday, he knocked off work at 3.30pm as usual, and woke up on Sunday in his own bed, with a broken thigh-bone.
    Still has no idea when or where he did it.
    Cheers
