drunk driving
"Drunk driving is like masterbating: 90% of of the people have done it and the other 10% lied. Some guys need to remember that when they are dropping the hammer on someone for a traffic offense."
"Drunk driving is like the mosquitoes or deer on the animal side of the analogy - they are actually, statistically deadly. Unlike the animal simile, we can actually do something about this danger, we can avoid it."
"Drunk driving is like firing a gun at a moving train and hoping that you don't any of the passengers. "
