So why is driving fast while on drugs getting your wing-wang squeezed and not spilling your drink

frowned upon by society today?

For many of us this was Friday or Sat night back in the day!


Yeah PJ is a tool today but back in the day he was very funny!

How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink


When it comes to taking chances, some people like to play poker or shoot dice; other people prefer to parachute-jump, go rhino hunting, or climb ice floes, while still others engage in crime or marriage. But I like to get drunk and drive like a fool. Name me, if you can, a better feeling than the one you get when you're half a bottle of Chivas in the bag with a gram of coke up your nose and a teenage lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over while you're going a hundred miles an hour down a suburban side street. You'd have to watch the entire Mexican air force crash-land in a liquid petroleum gas storage facility to match this kind of thrill. If you ever have much more fun than that, you'll die of pure sensory overload, I'm here to tell you.

But wait. Let's pause and analyze why this particular matrix of activities is perceived as so highly enjoyable. I mean, aside from the teenage lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over. Ignoring that for a moment, let's look at the psychological factors conducive to placing positive emotional values on the sensory end product of experientially produced excitation of the central nervous system and smacking into a lamppost. Is that any way to have fun? How would your mother feel if she knew you were doing this? She'd cry. She really would. And that's how you know it's fun. Anything that makes your mother cry is fun. Sigmund Freud wrote all about this. It's a well-known fact.

Of course, it's a shame to waste young lives behaving this way – speeding around all tanked up with your feet hooked in the steering wheel while your date crawls around on the floor mats opening zippers with her teeth and pounding on the accelerator with an empty liquor bottle. But it wouldn't be taking a chance if you weren't risking something. And even if it is a shame to waste young lives behaving this way, it is definitely cooler than risking old lives behaving this way. I mean, so what if some fifty-eight-year-old butt-head gets a load on and starts playing Death Race 2000 in the rush-hour traffic jam? What kind of chance is he taking? He's just waiting around to see what kind of cancer he gets anyway. But if young, talented you, with all of life's possibilities at your fingertips, you and the future Cheryl Tiegs there, so fresh, so beautiful – if the two of you stake your handsome heads on a single roll of the dice in life's game of stop-the-semi – now that's taking chances! Which is why old people rarely risk their lives. It's not because they're chicken – they just have too much dignity to play for small stakes.

and it was from the National Lampoon back when it was wicked funny. The link was just the first one that came up so I used it because I am lazy, if the link offends you and your delicate sensibilities sorry about that.

I also apologize for not sharing similar senses of humor it may because I had a whole lot of fun in the 70's and you did not.

Good Day

And I laughed my ass off. National Lampoon was very funny back then, and I read it all the time.

used to write for the Harvard Lampoon then the National Lampoon -he was a satirist in the late 60s so he made fun of the hippies who deserved some of the satire but he then set out on a path of preppy conservative dribble along with booze and maybe some blow to become the has been clever 20 something who turned into the sad old dick weed he is today who tries to get booked as the pithy repuke humorist . He does come up with his own stuff and is probably less of a scum bag than Dennis Miller .

thank you and over & out Mr. know it all Dots .......
