Nemo, you win the biggest laugh award! The PUI post reminds me that I taught my kids to never drive drunk. One of my son’s was legal to drink and walked home drunk and got a PUI. Moral of the story is don’t live in small town Kansas that needs money.

Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day.

Set him on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.

Teach him to fish, and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

My Grand Pappy - "Be careful what you ask for, somebody may give it to you."

FWIW, that was his way of referring to The Law of Unintended Consequences.
