A Bit of Gin Can Go a Long Way


This is a sign with the 2 pictures. One of a older man and a younger man drinking with domino looking chips around them. The second is of the younger one getting busted by a cop. Though this sign is hard to see because of the lighting, let me just explain to you it's story and ultimately it's lesson.

Story:
You're a young kid, probably senior in high school. And one night, because you're a complete loser, you're left to hang out with your dad on your weekend night. Since someone seems to have taken the batteries out of your 10 year old SIMON, both you and your dad decide to play a few rounds of Gin Rummy. Ultimately one thing leads to another and you end up playing kings on your nicely furnished basement carpet. Then, all of a sudden, you reach for some more pretzels within your chex mix when you realize you ran completely out. Your father, being the man who could never hold his drink (especially after Crazy Aunt Jeans visit/gift last thanksgiving) throws the car keys in your general direction or maybe just near the stairs (you're going that way anyway) so that you can take the car out and pick some more up. You pull out of your driveway, take a left at the light, and eventually as your driving progressively gets worse, you get pulled over by a cop. The cop arrests you for drinking and driving and your mom awkwardly picks you up from the station worried sick a) where her husband was since he was supposed to be with you and b) how her son got the car keys since he was banned from driving the dodge caravan because of the freak wild turkey collision on the forth of July. Ultimately you get grounded for life for getting drinking in the first place as well as other various government penalties that you never remembered from your permit test. Oh, and your dad never remembered to get new batteries for your SIMON.

Lesson:
Never mix Gin Rummy and alcohol unless under the supervision of the mother of the household.
