New Seat Belt Design - A Huge Breakthrough in Road Safety.

A man who had a little too much to drink is driving home one night and, of course, his car is weaving all over the road. A policeman pulls him over and asks. 'where have ya been?' 'Why, I've been to the pub of course,' slurs the drunk. 'Well,' says the cop, 'it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening.' 'I did all right,' the drunk says with a smile. 'Did you know,' says the cop, standing straight, and folding his arms across his chest, 'that a little way back, your wife fell out of your car?' 'Oh, thank heavens,' sighs the drunk. 'for a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf.'
