Free funerals for drink-drivers
A US funeral parlour is offering free burials to people who plan to drink and drive on New Year's Eve.
McGuire, Jennings and Miller Funeral Home says drivers must sign a contract stating they plan to drink or use drugs and drive on December 31.
If they are then killed in a crash while driving on New Year's Eve, the funeral home, of Rome, Georgia, will bury them for free.
The free funeral will cover the preparation of the body, a coffin, a grave and a hearse.
A spokesman for the firm said its 'Operation Stop and Think' promotion was designed to save lives by making people think before they act.

Um, sounds like a really great deal - probably worth drinking again.
Maybe not.
Blessings, aloha, thank you, and, happy new year...
I wonder if anyone signed up for the free funeral.
Happy New Year, pal!
