A serious issue for people who are closet alcoholics, when trying to convince someone of authority you are sober. After consuming one too many rye and cokes your non--dominant eye decides it's going to take the night off. It's a 'tell' that gives away a persons level of inebriation for A mild case would be after a couple one eye would not be fully open. After a few more the eye now also looking another direction but it seems not to be focusing or functioning. Almost like it is offline. The other eye seems to be functioning normally. A full blown case would have both eyes looking in different directions. They are basically anywhere except where the person is trying to look. This indicates a blood alcohol level nearing unconscious and the person will not remember much.
"Sir you know why I pulled you over. Sir I'm over here. Have you had anyrhing to drink tonight"
"No. No idea."
"No you haven't neen drinking? or No you have no idea how the garbage can got lodged under the front of your car and why you didn't notice it. Sir you look like you have a bit of 'rye eye' going on. Can you try to look at me for a second"
"No.... I am looking at you, ...yep thats great i was wondering what that was....I had one beer with dinner an hour ago....someone could have been hurt leaving their garbage can in the middle of the crosswalk like that..."
"Sir its six in the morning. Would you mind stepping out to do a sobriety test"
"No........ problem... six?.. what time is garbage pick up"

At this point one gets out and is disoriented by flashing cop lights and attempts to lean up against the car real smooth like but is about 4 feet away from anyrhing and starts fall over trying to save oneself only makes it worse and adds a horizontal acceleration vector to the vertical gravitatiial one heading towards ground. One becomes almost parallel to ground as they are about to make contact with the pavement. This would be an epic move into a swimming pool or slip and slide but attemting this move in a t-shirt and shorts on gravel covered concrete while not attempting to stop fall using arms, looks like a fish jumping out of water and landing in boat with grip type bottom coming to an abrupt stop resulting in road rash.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
