Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. Full effort is full victory.

George, the surly Scottish bartender, asks the the Hillbilly, who is sitting at the bar, 'What'll you have, m'lad?'  Hillbilly answers, 'Ah, I'll have a single-malt 12 year old scotch, please.' George hands him the drink, and says, 'That'll be $17.50,' to which the Hillbilly splutters, 'What are you talking about? I don't owe you anything for this.'  Charlie, the helpful lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to George, the bartender, 'You know, he's got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration.'

George was singularly unimpressed, so he says to the Hillbilly, 'OK, you beat me for a drink. But don't ever let me ever catch you in here again.'  The next day, the Hillbilly again, walks into the bar. George explodes, 'What in the blazes are you doing in here? I can't believe you've got the audacity to come back!  'The shocked Hillbilly says, 'What are you talking about? I've never been in this place in my life!'  George looks at the Hillbilly closely and mutters, 'I'm sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double.  'The Hillbilly, without missing a beat says, 'Thank you, bartender. Make it a single-malt 12 year old scotch.'

The Emperor of Ice-Cream
Call the roller of big cigars, The muscular one, and bid him whip In kitchen cups concupiscent curds. Let the wenches dawdle in such dress As they are used to wear, and let the boys Bring flowers in last month's newspapers. Let be be finale of seem. The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream. Take from the dresser of deal. Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet On which she embroidered fantails once And spread it so as to cover her face. If her horny feet protrude, they come To show how cold she is, and dumb. Let the lamp affix its beam. The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

The American Beverage Institute is an industry-sponsored advocacy group that has stood up to Mother Against Drunk Drivers and their campaing for roadside checkpoints. The beverage group says that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) should back off from the roadblocks and instead support roving patrols to catch heavy drinkers.

"By promoting sobriety checkpoints, MADD and NHTSA are ignoring the root cause of today's drunk driving problem - hard core alcohol abusers,'' ABI managing director Sarah Longwell said in a statement.

"Because they are highly visible by design and publicized in advance, roadblocks are all too easily avoided by the chronic alcohol abusers who comprise the core of today's drunk driving problem,'' Longwell said. "That leaves adults who enjoyed a beer while watching a game or a glass of wine with dinner to be harassed at checkpoints.''

HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County — Nine arrests on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated were made during a sobriety checkpoint Saturday and Sunday, March 14 and 15, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said.

The checkpoint, conducted from 9 p.m. Saturday until about 2 a.m. Sunday on Ohio 48, also tallied 20 citations on charges of driving under suspension and having no driver's license, the sheriff's office said.

The checkpoint also tallied approximately 13 seat belt violations, one child restraint violation, 15 other traffic violations and one misdemeanor arrest.

The Ohio Highway Patrol and the Montgomery County Combined Agency O.V.I. Task Force also participated.
