Operation Stop And Think

A Georgia funeral home has come up with an interesting idea to discourage drunk or drugged driving over the holiday weekend. McGuire, Jennings, and Miller Funeral Home's 'Operation Stop and Think' requires participants to come in and sign a contract stating that they intend to drink or take drugs and drive on New Years Eve. Then if the participant dies in a car wreck on that night they are entitled to free burial services. Included in the services is a casket, a burial plot, limousine transport and preparation of the body. Don't you wonder how many losers will actually go and sign up? Also, who's going to pay for the services for the unfortunate victims in other vehicles who weren't drinking or taking drugs? The funeral home should turn the list of takers over to the cops so the cops can be on the look out for these idiots on New Years Eve.

I wonder if there're any provisions if you die in a wreck and didn't happen to be drunk or on drugs... Of course, someone thinking about suicide already might take the deal to reduce the burden on others after the fact.

that didn't occur to me js, brilliant thought. if the person is doing that they would probably drink some liquid courage first anyway i suppose. disable the airbag and head for the nearest cement abutment doing 90, sans seatbelt of course. (shudder)
