quote from douglas coupland's novel Jpod

i thought everyone would get a kick out of this line. there are lots of funny ones, but this one made me laugh the most and i think everyone here would agree that it's a good idea.

said by a character the morning after drunkenly sending an email to her french boyfriend:

"I think computers ought to have a key called I'M DRUNK, and when you push it, it prevents you from sending email for twelve hours."

would definitly get used way more than that key with the little squiggly line on it.

mfao I wish my computer had a key like that. It would have prevented soooooooo many stupid e-mails/ posts

I need one of those!

Heffy also suggested a breathalyser attached to my phone, like for drunk drivers and their car ignitions, that prevents me from making calls while intoxicated.
