Michaelangelo's Box
The guy who used to paint the yellow boxes on the road and got pissed
off 'cos everybody drove into it and caused a traffic jam.
"Hey! After him!"
The 3 boyos cycle along the road like Dublin's answer to the Hell's
Angels. A car stops short of flattening one of them. Mike Murphy
Speaks:
"Where do ya think you're goin'. Have ya no sense. Ya'll get killed if
ya keep on cycling like that!"
Lucky? Yes this time.
Smart? Definitely not.
(Safety on your bike ad).
The one where the "experienced"
driver spotted the feet of the little
girl in the red sandals (mmm) under the parked caravan as she was about to
run out onto the road.
Dangerous Parking:
The guy with the beard who parked his truck (lorry) on the corner and
headed off to bed to read a book. Then he heard a crash outside and
threw his book on the floor, tossed back the sheets and ran out to see what
happened. "Remember: You don't have to be sitting in your vehicle to
cause an accident"
Drunk Driving:
The guy in the pub sitting in front of a glass of whiskey. He's about
totake a drink when the barman holds up his keys in front of him and
warns him of the perils of drinking and driving. He asks him does he really
want to take that drink. The punter sees sense and says "See ya later
lads. I'm driving!".
I wonder how long that pub stayed in business with a barman like that.
" If you don't walk
sober................your feet are killing you".
The ad where they compared Drink Driving to loading
2 big red bullets
into a shotgun.
"Too close to da rode. You'll
get - ROLLED OVER"
(Judge)
"Ya hook around the other car!"
(Ever tried it. Bloody dangerous I'll tell ya. God bless
roundabouts).
