I have a semi-related story.  In the local Correctional Custody at Dyess 
AFB, TX, the CC-cops would show the prisoner a local article if he had 
been convicted of DUI or whatever.  In the article, from first hand count:

[paraphrased, of course]

I went out drinking last night.  Drove myself home.  Glad I didn't get 
into an accident.  Didn't wake the wife when I came in, and no cops 
stopped me, thank God.  
  Woke up to go to work, and got in the car.  As I was backing out of the 
driveway, my wife came running out.  I had forgotten my lunch, and she 
was running out the door with it, when suddenly, she fainted.
  I stopped the car and got out, rushing over to her.  Why did she faint, 
I wondered?  As I thought to myself, I glanced over to the car.  
  Enmeshed into the grill were the metal scraps from a bicycle frame, and 
streaks of blood running down the front of the car.

This story would always get the prisoners crying...Wonder why?
