Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

So ... from a friend:

"As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with
the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over
the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with
friends and had a couple of cocktails and some rather nice red wine.
Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did
something I've never done before ~ I took a cab home. Sure enough, I
passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it
past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real
surprise; as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I
got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage."
