Will You Kiss Your Dick's Goodbye?

Actually, in 2009 (the most recent year for which statistics are available) shows an average of 30 people who died each year in drunk driving crashes.  Not to minimize the tragedy in Connecticut, but I hear nobody calling for a ban on Jack Daniels or Buick.

The estimates that I have seen range from 29 - 41 drunk driving fatalities a day.  The CDC doesn't break down vehicular accidents to segregate drunk driving so I have no idea what the real number is.

As far as Dick's and CTD goes, they didn't get much of my business to start with so it isn't hard for me to zero that out.

Funny war story.

I work at a church.  Last Christmas a grandmother from up north was visiting her kids and came to church with them.  It was her first time in the South.  She was introduced to our youth leader (our young youth leader) and they exchanged small talk, when the youth leader asked her how she found the Marietta area compared to where she was from up north.   She responded that she had gone out shopping and found our Dick's much smaller than the Dick's up north.  The Dick's where she lived were much larger.  She evidently carried on a while comparing the size of Dick's.

Needless to say, the youth pastor had to really struggle to keep a straight face and almost passed out before he could excuse himself and go some place private.

We still chuckle over this and when anyone is going shopping there, they refer to it as "the sporting goods store by the mall" lest the jokes begin.

I've been in a couple, here and in Ca.
Never actually bought anything though.

Just wrote something similar in the CTD thread. Ok Dick here is your chance to make all the "wrong" you have done a little right. Donate all profits off "military" guns. (Isn't that what they said they were that's what nightly news said) to a cause. I say the NRA cause you took the money from gun owners. And the NRA is going to get money to the right places even helping the victims even though shouldn't have to and have not connection to the shooting.

The media gets it wrong again, it's "modern sporting rifles".
But that doesn't fit the agenda .
