Usually drinking too much can land you in hot water. But has it ever got you out of it?

A female friend said to me "Fran, I have an unattached friend. She's studying Philosophy and is athletic. Why don't I set you up on a blind date with her?" I said "fair enough, (might get a ride out of it)".

Well I went ahead with the date and then I met my blind date. Athletic? Sumo wrestlers are also athletes.

We sat down, ordered drinks, chatted.I just happened to drink six pints in an hour.

Needless to say I got a text a few days later "Sorry Fran, you drink too much. I'm afraid I can't see you"

I thought "yes", drink you got me out of trouble for a change.
