#1- Does the number of child abuse charges rise when electricity goes out? #2- If the Progress Energy Truck drives by my house and I offer a case of beer will my power go on sooner, or will he park around the corner and get hammered? #3- Do the makers of board games actually think a 7 year old, 11 year old, a wife, and a father listening to Buc game can actually read the monopoly cards by candlelight? #4- If I set up my grill, my tent, and toss football in front lawn does that constitute a tailgate and thus may drinking take place? #5- If anyone ever poses the question: Electricity or plumbing what could you do without. Answer plumbing! After a sleepless night with a 11 year old tooth grinder and his nut-kicking 7 year old sister in bed with us without air conditioning I will happily take care of business in my neighbor's lawn. #6- Is it a bad thing to be thankful to god that my USC road trip did not get canceled by this weekend's Hurricane? #7- When water runs the wrong way down the street during a hurricane it is not a good omen! #8- When I bought the car adaptor for tailgating my wife said I was nuts, now after it powered a desk fan all night who looks like the smart guy now! #9- Food does not do well inside a fridge that is shut off, however the case of beer was fine in the cooler when the ice was applied.. Maybe my priorities are a bit screwed up. #10- When doing laundry at the laundry mat during a power outage it is unlawful to drink alcohol on the premises, however a USC soda tumbler is an excellent disguise.. I hope these thoughts aid all next time your power goes out! All Jokes aside I have no idea how those people throughout the state can go without power for days and weeks... I wish all of them all the best in the next few weeks! Later T-Man
