Four Out of Five Distillers Agree

Anthony Galluccio swears he’s innocent. No, not for the hit-and-run — he fessed to that, and the Massachusetts state senator has been confined to his home for six months. But the terms of his probation include random alcohol testing, and he set off the breathalyzer several times Monday.

His excuse? Toothpaste.

After discussing it with a physician, we have determined that is the result of my using two toothpastes — Colgate Total Whitening and Sensodyne Toothpaste, both of which contain sorbitol. While I knew that mouthwash or cold medicine would set the machine off, it did not occur to me that toothpaste would.

Didn’t occur to us either, but we’re adding Colgate Anticavity Single Malt to our shopping list.

I blamed having a couple of hot dogs with Sauerkraut last Sunday Afternoon when I was pulled over at a Police Checkpoint and made to do a breathalyzer.

However, unlike Mr Personal Responsibility, I blew 0.000000 to the cop’s surprise. One beer on Sat night does not make a drunk driver.

Mixing it with ouzo enhances the minty aroma.

Police Searching for Butt Sniffer

I agree with the last line. Sully need to account for his whereabouts.
