Please take time to read this. It would explain an awful lot.....!!

Question: - How many times have you woken up in the morning after a heavy night of drinking and thought, 'How did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the bar to your home. The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer scooter.

The beer scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased out to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has branched out since the decrease in the worship of the Roman pantheon, and bought a large batch of these magical devices. The beer scooter works in the following fashion:-

Once the passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring gland" begins to give off a pheromone, Bacchus, or one of his many sub-contractors, detects the pheromone, and sends down a winged beer scooter.

The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a trans-dimensional portal.

It is not cheap to run a beer scooter franchise, so a large portion of the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This generates the second question after a night out 'How did I spend so much money?'

Beer scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be responsible for 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injuries). An undocumented feature of the beer scooter is the destruction of time segments during the trip.

The nature of trans-dimensional portals dictates that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for. This generates the third question after a night out 'What happened?'

With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the EMIT (Embarrassing Moments In Time) add on, that automatically removes, in descending order, those parts in time regretted most. Unfortunately, one person's EMIT is not necessarily the EMIT of another, and quite often lost time is regained over a suitable period.

Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles cause the scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending the passenger to the wrong bedroom often with horrific consequences.

With recent models including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a scooter drive-thru chain, specializing in half eaten kebabs and pizza crusts. Another question answered!!

For the family man, beer scooters come equipped with flowers picked from other people's garden and Thump-A-Lot Boots.  These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tiptoe, you are sure to wake up your other half. Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System explains the ring barked shins.

The final add-in Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some scooters is TAS (Tobacco Absorption System). This explains how one person can apparently get through 260 Marlboro Lights in a single night.

LOL!!  :D


...now it all makes sense...  ;D

It makes so much sense now. ;D

I actually HAVE a beer scooter...it looks strangely like a unicycle though :)

It all makes so much sense now, thank you for this extensive research. ;)  

So that's how I managed to get back to my hotel room in Acapulco after doing twelve tequila shots in a row at a club!!! ;)  ;D

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


But now that you've told Baccus's secrets, aren't you worried that he'll be out to get you? ;) ;) ;)

Way to cool this time, Gabble. :-* :-* :-*

Gabble, you have excellent timing, too.  My morning coffee shot out my nose this time, I laughed so hard.  Not an easy thing to get me to do when I'm trying to pay the bills.

And ROTFLMFAO = Rolling On The Floor Laughing My F**king A** Off.

One of many forms of Internet shorthand. ;)
