Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers Having Trouble Getting To Meetings

Keith Potter leans his head against the deployed airbag of his black 1997 Toyota Celica, trying in vain to shake the cobwebs from his head, caused by running headfirst into a telephone pole - again.

Potter is a founding member of the reactionary organization Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers (DDAMM - the first D is silent). For years Potter, and others like him, have been persecuted by the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) organization. They intend to do something about the harassment, providing members can make it to the meetings.

Luke Harrington has been attempting to attend DDAMM meetings for the past two Thursdays; however something always seems to keep him from making it there. Last week, he decided to go to the meeting after Mike - a transient that hangs around at Harrington's favorite watering hole The Drunk Skunk - told him about the organization. After stumbling out to his car, he mistakenly put the car into reverse, backing into a ditch and passing out. By the time he came to, the meeting was over and another chance was gone forever

Potter has been disappointed by poor turnout at the meetings scheduled to be held in his basement, having never broken his attendance record set at the first meeting, where he was the sole attendee.

.So far Potter's sole accomplishment for the group has been his 100 word manifesto, written in pencil on the back of a drink menu. The manifesto is written in a secret code, which Potter describes as the "6 Jack and Cokes Code". It is not able to be understood unless completely inebriated, in which case readers consider it the most profound thing they've ever read.
