Caveat

Brian quit drinking for seventeen years. Quite an accomplishment for anyone, but the triple crown for anyone of Irish extraction. During this time period, he was pulled over by a police officer who wished to know why he had swerved on the road. Satisfied, after questioning, that he wasn't drinking, the officer asked one final confirming question, "Can I look in the cooler" which lay in the back of the pickup truck. "Sure",  Brian said knowing what it contained, and added, "Would you mind bringing me up a water when you're back there?" The officer was miffed, but complied.

The officer, through no fault of his own, had apparently missed one of Hope's debriefings to the final quadrant of the dozen she raised. "Beware of born again Christians and recovering alcoholics."
