Amber Needs Clariticity
I took the kids up to visit the grandparents in Farmington over Labor Day weekend for a last splash in the pool for the season. On the way, I noticed something strange. All of the amber signs on I-15 displayed the message, “DUI Laws Enforced.”
Huh? What exactly does this mean? Are DUI laws typically not enforced, but for Labor Day weekend they decided to give it a try? Or does it mean that DUI laws are enforced, but others are not? Could I have knocked off a liquor store to celebrate the concept of labor in our great nation without fear of repercussions? I’m just not sure.
In order to avoid this type of confusion for future holidays, may I suggest that the Amber folks use a message more along these lines?
• Caution: MADD mothers will beat drunk drivers senseless while tourists videotape the whole incident so it can be played endlessly on the news for the next six months.
• Alcoholic automotive administrators are asses.
• Cops are working while you are playing – and boy are they pissed.
• Your slurred pleas for a “warning” will only result in additional tickets for insufficient air pressure and broken headlights.

I thought of you the other day when I saw a sign at a gas station that read, "New coffee mug with fill, fits in car."
So apparently this is the big selling point. The mug actually fits in the car. Did the old coffee mugs they were giving away NOT fit in cars? Because you'd think that would have come up in the R&D phase at some point.
