Piloting a Plane While Drunk in PA is Legal

Does that statement contain even one iota of common sense?? This post is a continuation from the previous one that further proves in PA, we're quite conservative and not very smart...with the exception of Dorman and Findley Labrador and Dr. Parks and o.k., there are a few exceptions.

Yes, it is true, according to a local news station it is currently still legal to pilot a plane in PA while drunk, but not for long. Our fearless leader Ed Rendell has now signed into law that it will be ILLEGAL to pilot a plane if your blood alcohol content is .02 or greater. Now, if your caught as the article explains, (and if the authorities are able to wrangle you to the ground without subjecting hundreds of people to a fiery crash), you may get a fine up to...hold on to your hats....$5000 AND, if that's not enough, three whole days in jail. That'll learn ya. Scary thing is, if you look into your state's law on this, it's probably still legal to fly drunk. PA is only one of three states to pass such a law.

So, it appears we still have a 90 day window in which to fly around the skies of PA in a drunken state, which is why I am providing for you here a recipe for FABULOUS margaritas! Now, if you're a purist as far as margarita's go, do not, I repeat do not read any further. You will be horrified.


This recipe comes from The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love. It's a chick book, and it's hilarious! Girls, very important information is contained in this book. A few chapters within the book are; The true magic words guaranteed to get any man to do your bidding; The best advice ever given in the entire history of the world; Boyfriends and Fiances: Getting over them and getting over them; Men who may need killing, quite frankly, and finally, What to eat when tragedy strikes or just for entertainment.

The "What to eat section" has some great recipes...two are margarita recipes. The name of the first margarita is "Fat Mama's Knock You Naked" margaritas. And, those of you that are feeling the need to tell "naked" stories, keep them to yourself (unless they are about someone other than me). These require special "Fat Mama" margarita mix....who has that lying around the house?!? Our time-tested favorite however, is New Allison's Mambo Margaritas. These should come with a Surgeon Generals warning on them...so consider yourself warned!

One big can of frozen limeade (12 oz.)
One bottle of Corona beer (we've used other beer, it's just as good)
12 oz. of 7-Up (NEVER Sprite!)
12 oz. of really good tequila (we've used not so good, it's just as good)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT THIS IN THE BLENDER! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHAKE THIS EITHER! Although, this may seem obvious to some of you outside the state of Pennsylvania, it is not so obvious to others. Just give it a stir. Please let me know if you try these (and live to tell).
