One night two friends and myself go out to shoot some pool. About midnight we decide to head to a restaurant literally only 3 minutes away. I hop in my car and my friends follow me in their car. Only one stop light between the pool hall and restaurant, I enter first and about three seconds later my friends enter and are hit broadside by a drunk driver, instantly killing the driver and trapping my other friend under the car. Unbelievably, the drunk driver crawled out of his overturned car and runs home, later to be sentced to ONE year in jail. Some f#cking justice system! I can't tell you how many times i've thought if we had hit even one more shot on the pool table, we would of missed that driver completely. Enjoy it, because it can end in the blink of an eye.
