If you're not supposed to drink and drive, then why do bars have parking lots?

Oh well, bars with parking lots. The parking lot is really not for the cars at all. People leaving the bar may need a huge amount of room in which to stagger about and throw up. Very useful, that parking lot. Also, where else could the bar hold its annual backyard bash or some sort of tailgating activity? Most convenient, tailgating right outside a bar! Perfect planning. really.

I mean really, we park in driveways and drive on parkways. Why would anyone think that the parking lot of a bar had anything to do with cars? As for ATM's with braille, seriously folks, do you think the inebriated bar people can still read what the ATM screen says after a few hours tailgating conveniently in the bar parking lot? Sensible, that braille!

Ever seen a "no turn" sign posted directly next to the right turn lane? There's a reason for that too. Karma. It's the universe screaming a warning that this is not the direction you should be taking just at this moment. See? The universe really DOES care about us all, we just don't pay attention to what all the confusing and contradictory signage is actually about.

Silly humans!
