As a self employed guy I punch no clocks and control my calendar. Since I abhore driving among the crazies during rush hour, I usually schedule appointments with clients for late mornings or afternoons. Well, one day last week I got in my car,with my piping hot coffee in a thermal mug, get my radar dectector up and running, get some jazz playing on the CD player and I'm ready to roll. Traffic has thinned out and all is right with the world. It was about 10AM as I entered the expressway and settled into the left most lane, where I would be for several miles. Having settled in, I decided it was time to begin enjoying my coffee and jazz. I am approaching a slight rise in the road, I put my coffee to my lips and begin to tip the cup. Just then, I come over the rise and am greeted with a very loud screeching sound. I am so startled, I spill the coffee on my face and scald my lips. I figure out the screeching is caused a LEO who has hit me with his laser. I tap the breaks, to make sure I'm okay, and the radar detector falls off the window, hits the dash board and lands in my crotch. So much for a leisurely drive to the office.

I always eat and drink(not booze) and drive even though I know better. You are just as likely to get in an accident if you are distracted as if you were drunk.
I hate cell phone drivers ,they almost hit me all the time on the bike.

A burnt lip and a high note...better than a ticket...not much, but better Dan

I drink coffee on the way to work in one of those big thermal muggs(about 4 to 6 cups... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />). I've learned over time and from many a burnt lip or other body part... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Now I always throw in a few cubes of Ice to bring the temperature down to just below scalding, so that the spills are a little less painful and tramatizing... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
