Shared at a meeting by an oldtimer "Sometimes the thoughts in my head take a stroll out through my mouth. This is NEVER a good thing!" Cue much laughter or as I call it now 'identification'.

Heard someone say, "My drinking got so bad, I'd suck the alcohol out of a deodorant stick" and "I was a bad drunk but I never drank while driving... Didn't want to spill any of it"
