So now Jaybird's an expert on Hooter's serving policies - is there
something you want to tell us?

Predictably, Jaybird is telling us the cop wasn't drunk.

Typical governmental "do as I say, not as I do," hypocrisy. Had you or I
been stopped - smell of alcohol on breath or no smell of alcohol on
breath - 9 to 1 says you or I would be subjected to every field soberity
test imaginable intill failure and then arrested. But ofcourse, a cop
reeking of alcohol is sent on his merry way.

<sarcasm> Of course. The police can do no wrong... </sarcasm>

I've already said it. Hooters won't serve more than one pitcher per person
per table.

I'm telling you that the Round Rock Police Department said they didn't have
enough probable cause to believe the driver was intoxicated.
