How many times have you woken up in the morning
after a hard night of drinking
and thought 'How on earth did I get home?' As hard
as you try, you cannot piece together your return
journey from the pub to your house.
- The answer to this puzzle is that you used a Beer
Scooter...
The Beer Scooter is a mythical form of transport,
owned and leased 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 has bought a
large batch of these magical devices.
- How often have you been on one????????
The Beer Scooter works in the following fashion:
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 this pheromone and sends
down a winged Beer Scooter. The scooter scoops
up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom
via a TDP (Trans-Dimensional Portal).
This is not cheap to run, so a large portion of the
passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment.
This answers the second question after a night out:
'How did I spend so much money?'
Unfortunately, Beer Scooters have a poor safety
record and are thought to be responsible for over 90%
of all UDI's (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 answers a third question after a night out:
What the hell happened?'
With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the REMIT
(Removal of Embarrassing Moments In Time) add on, that
automatically removes, in descending
order, those parts in time regretted most.
Unfortunately one person's REMIT is not necessarily
the REMIT of another and quite often lost time is regained in
discussions over a period of time.
Independent studies have also shown that Beer
Goggles often 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 gardens and
Thump-A-Lot Boots (Patent Pending). These boots
are designed in such a way that no matter how
quietly you tip-toe up the stairs, you are sure to wake
up your other half. Special anti-gravity springs
ensure that you bump into every wall in the house
and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System)
explains the bruised shins.
The final add-on Bacchus saw fit to invest in for
some scooters is the TAS (Tobacco Absorption System).
This explains how one person can apparently
get through 260 Marlboro Lights in a single night.
PS: Don't forget the on-board heater, which allows
you to comfortably
get home from the pub in sub-zero temperatures,
wearing just a
T-shirt...
