All in the name of education....

Friday night I went to Central Lakes College to "help" the Law Enforcement Students learn to recognize and test drivers that have been drinking. There were 10 of us (drunks). They gave us a breathalyzer before we started to make sure we weren't already plowed (it was 4:30 in the afternoon after all). Then after we told them our weight they told us how many drinks we could have in the next two hours. They said I could have 5 and a half. So we all drank for two hours. One guy could have 10 shots...And he did. I was on my sixth beer when they ripped it out of my hand and this is where the fun began. They gave us another breathalyzer and sent in the students. We did all the stupid human tricks. Walk, turn, count, don't fall down and most important was the eye test. They take their finger or a pen and have you follow it with your eyes. I guess that was my dead give away. Evidently when you look way out to the right, left or even way up and hold it there, you're eyes will start twitching when you're drunk. You can't control that. All thirty students would have arrested me. Ends up I was a .10. But then they gave us another breathalyzer before we left at around 9:30 and I was already down to a .06. Could have drove home legally....But they didn't let me. It was interesting to participate. I think my son, Mike, one of the students, may have been embarrassed of me. But hey, it was all in the name of education.
