The Beer Scooter

    How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night
    drinking and thought 'How on earth did I get home?' As hard as you
    try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the pub to
    your house. The answer to this puzzle is that you used a Beer Scooter.

    The Beer Scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased
    to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has acquired a
    large batch of these magical devices. The Beer Scooter works in the
    following fashion:

    The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring
    gland" begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many
    sub-contractors detects this pheromone and sends down a winged
    Beer Scooter. The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them
    in their bedroom via a Trans-Dimensional Portal.

    This is not cheap to run, so a large portion of the passenger's
    in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This answers the second question after
    a
    night out 'How did I spend so much money?'

    Unfortunately, Beer Scooters have a poor safety record and are thought
    to be responsible for over 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking
    Injuries).

    An undocumented feature of the beer scooter is the destruction of time
    segments during the trip. The nature of Trans-Dimensional Portals
    dictates that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for.
    This answers a third question after a night out 'What the hell
    happened?'

    With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the REMIT (Removal of
    Embarrassing Moments In Time) add on,that automatically removes,
    in descending order, those parts in time regretted most.

    Unfortunately one person's REMIT is not necessarily the REMIT of another
    and quite often lost time is regained in discussions over a period of
    time.

    Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles often cause the
    scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending the passenger
    to the wrong bedroom, often with horrific consequences.

    With recent models including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a
    scooter drive-thru chain specializing in half eaten kebabs and pizza
    crusts. Another question answered!

    For the family man, Beer Scooters come equipped with flowers picked from
    other people's gardens and Thump-A-Lot boots (Patent Pending).
    These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you
    tip-toe up the stairs, you are sure to wake up your other half.
    Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall in the
    house and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the
    bruised shins.

    The final add-on Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some scooters is the
    TAS (Tobacco Absorption> System). This explains how one person can
    apparently get through 260 Marlboro Lights in a single night.

    PS: Don't forget the on-board heater, which allows you to comfortably
    get home from the pub in sub-zero temperatures, wearing just a T-shirt.
