LIGHTSIDE A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together fishing.
The pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to that shore and sit down." So he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and sits down on the shore.
Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I am going to go over and join him." So, he does the same as the pastor and sits next to him on the shore.
The rabbi thinks to himself, "well if they can do it, so can I".
He climbs out of the boat, but he falls right down in the water.
The priest says to the pastor, “should we have told him about the rocks".

Java Cooler
1 ½ oz. gin
1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice A few dashes of angostura bitters Tonic water RESPONSIBLE DRINKING If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.
If you're having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.
2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a 075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2 bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after drinking has stopped is 015. A 200 pound person, after 1 drink produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference due to weight.
As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party impaired.
