I call BS on this whole story. If it was only two blocks you should
have walked in the first place. If it was any further, this story
clearly illustrates why one should get a ride -- be it from a friend,
foe, or taxi --

My friend, the taxi driver, likes to tell impaired clients that his
services are cheaper than a lawyer's. When he tell's that to lawyers
he gets a big laugh and a fat tip.

to and from medical procedures involving anesthetics or
other drugs.

Lots of people are randomly and regularly dosing themselves with
combinations of over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
Frighteningly great numbers of them operate dangerous machinery in
public places despite the printed warnings against it.

I'll take my chances with a pot-head or some bakatype on steroids
biking over a suicidal adolescent on SSRIs, gasoline and booze.

When I had my wrist surgery, I was *not* allowed to
provide my own transportation home, even by taxi. If you had no other
means, by your own argument[1], you should have stayed in the hospital
unless the effects wore off.


The two times I've been under a general anesthetic they wouldn't let
me go home with any one but a friend or relative despite 24 hrs. or
more spent in hospital post surgery. After the local anesthetics,
when getting the screws removed, they just assured themselves I
wasn't driving and assumed I wasn't riding a bike since I'd brought
crutches. I took a bus home and was back on the bike in two days.
