Alcohol

Has anyone ever heard that song"Alcohol" by Brad Paisley?  I was returning from the bank a little while ago, and just heard that song.  "I got you in trouble in high school.  College that was a blast."  Listening to those words reminded me of a funny story about Brent (though it is not one he is all too proud of now - hehe). 

Flashback somewhere around 1993.  Brent is living in the fraternity house in Athens, University of Georgia.  One typical Friday night, he and all of his hoodlum friends are partying at another fraternity house.  I am sure there was lots of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Crown Royal, you name it.  After a long night of partying, Brent somehow makes his way back to his frat house and crashes in bed.  The next morning, with a hangover from hell, he gets up craving some Waffle House.  The only thing holding him up from a healthy breakfast (haha) of hashbrowns smothered and covered, fried eggs, and bacon is the fact that he can't find his car keys.  After searching his pockets, his bed, the floor, and every other possible place the keys may have ended up (after coming home in a drunken stupor) , he gives up and heads outside, thinking he probably left them in the car.  Uh-oh.  Something is terribly wrong.  The car is nowhere to be seen.  He heads back inside and tells his buddies what is going on, and they decide the car must have been stolen.  Phone call number one goes to his father.  Phone call number two goes to the Clark County police, who promptly come out to make a report.  Monday morning, his father makes the six hour trip up from Jacksonville, Florida. They spend the day looking at cars and dealing with the insurance company, deciding to wait until they receive the check for the stolen car before purchasing another one.  A couple of weeks go by, and his dad calls that the check has arrived from the insurance company.  They make plans for his dad to come back up the following weekend.  A day or so later, Brent is in his room studying and someone calls him to the phone.  Here is how that phone call goes:

"Hello?"

"Dude, I was just wondering if you wereever gonna come get your car?"

"My car?"

"Yeah, it's been sitting in my driveway."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, from a couple of weeks ago - that party we were at.  I was ready to leave and you said 'Here, take my car.' "

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE?
