Don't drink and drive

What a chef-d'?uvre comes from Lowe, Paris! Just imagine. You take a seat at a caf?, order beer, look through the glass top of your table and see your legs paralyzed and you’re in a wheel chair. Cauchemar! I think French people have a totally different mindset from Russians. A Frenchman would probably ask a waiter to cancel beer and bring him a nice cup of coffee. The Frenchman would probably tell the waiter, “Thank you for warning me about drunk driving. I almost forgot how dangerous it is.”

Russians are different. After the initial shock a Russian would call the waiter to order a bottle of vodka and a dish of pickled cornichons. The Russian would be seating there for several hours drinking, looking at the paralyzed legs and musing on his evil lot. “Life teaches us that a human should never tempt the Destiny”, - he’d be thinking.

“Alas poor Yorik, I knew him well… You were absolutely sober in your Nissan Micra when that drunken bastard in his armor-plated BMW 700 hit you. Now the drunk is ok (thanks to supreme airbags) and free (thanks to sleazy lawyers) but your life is destroyed. One moment you are happy and healthy but the next moment the Fate blindly strikes and you are poor, ruined and in a wheelchair. Your wife left you, your friends forgot about you and only the owner this caf? sticks the pictures of your legs on tabletops. So let me take this last shot for you. I need to drive home”.
