How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night drinking and thought 'How on earth did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the pub to your house.
The answer to this puzzle is that you used a Beer Scooter.
The Beer Scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has acquired a large batch of these magical devices. The Beer Scooter works in the following fashion:
The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring gland" begins to give off a pheromone.
Bacchus - or one of his many sub-contractors - detects this pheromone and sends down a winged Beer Scooter.
The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a Trans-Dimensional Portal. This is not cheap to run, so a large portion of the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This answers the second question after a night out 'How did I spend so much money?'
Unfortunately, Beer Scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be responsible for over 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injuries).
An undocumented feature of the Beer Scooter is the destruction of time segments during the trip. The nature of Trans-Dimensional Portals dictates that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for. This answers a third question after a night out 'What the hell happened?'
With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the REMIT (Removal of Embarrassing Moments In Time) add-on, which automatically removes, in descending order, those parts in time regretted most. Unfortunately one person's REMIT is not necessarily the REMIT of another and quite often lost time is regained in discussions over a period of time.
Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles often cause the Scooter's navigation system to malfunction, thus sending the passenger to the wrong bedroom, often with horrific consequences.
With recent models including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a scooter drive-thru chain specialising in half eaten kebabs and pizza crusts. Another question answered!
For the family man, Beer Scooters come equipped with flowers picked from other people's garden, and Thump-A-Lot boots (Patent Pending). These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tip-toe up the stairs, you are sure to wake up your other half. Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall in the house and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the bruised shins.
The final add-on Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some Scooters is the TAS (Tobacco Absorption System). This explains how one person can apparently get through 260 B&H in a single night.
PS: Don't forget the on-board heater, which allows you to comfortably get home from the pub in sub-zero temperatures, wearing just a T-shirt.
ROFPMSL!!!! so that's what happened to me the other night then!! ...especially the UDI's...must admit I thought I'd come up with the UDI thingy...unless...I was chattering away to the beer scooter on my way home one night & it thought it would be a good idea to introduce this new feature?
The Trans-Dimensional Portals are No Waiting zones, and contain 'NO PARKING' cones. Now as the scooter hurtles thru the portal at considerable speed, sometimes a loose cone gets caught in the slipstream, and ends up being deposited along with the passenger in their house, usually the kitchen.
This does not go down well with the lady of the house.
Shrugging shoulders and saying "htfsik?" is not to be recommended.
sometimes the horizontal depositing device malfunctions an causes spinning effect resulting in malfunction of kebab locker causing contents to be deposited on bedroom floor!some beer scooter's are programmed to drop rider in comfy position ie head in bog on all fours over toilet causing less mess an stress to rider's wife! although exposing rear end for a good kick!
