So, has holiday time with your family got you reachin’ for the nearest bottle of Mad Dog yet? No? Well, then allow us here at PAN to help bring you back to the depressing world of real life.
Janet spotted this display by the side of the road in her “very small-town community” in Virginia. “I’m sure this person is known by some who will see the sign — maybe even the local sheriff,” she says. “At first I laughed, but then I thought it was just sad.”

Wait a minute… a woman named Nancy with that license plate number threw out her Mad Dog 20/20 bottles by the side of the road? And she was called out for it via road sign? That’s fantastic… and should be filed under “actually totally reasonable” as well as “righteous comeuppance.”

shwo!
If she doesn’t drink and drive, how’s she supposed to get her bottles to the trash?

Yeah, I thought it was sad until I pictured some drunken skank mowing down an innocent family in her automotive death missile. AA is free.
What I don’t get is that if someone was going to all of that trouble to make a sign, why didn’t it say “WE JUST CALLED THE POLICE, YOU VANILLA EXTRACT SWILLING, DRUNK DRIVING LUSH!”

Observation: There are 6 bottles of MD, one a day Mon-Sat, and 2 bottles of vanilla extract for Sunday (when you can’t buy alcohol in some states).

The best part of this PAN is that MD 20/20 is referred to as wine!!! Clearly this sign-maker has never actually tried this stuff, as it doesn’t even remotely resemble anything that might actually taste like WINE! (trust me, I know from a few bad past experiences from my high-school days when the only way we could get “alcohol” was to purchase it from the dirty old man at a convenience store in the ghetto area of town)

Thanks to my husband experiencing nostalgia for his underage drinking days during a trip to the liqour store, we purchased and split a bottle of Mad Dog about a year ago. It was cheap (2.50) and wasn’t the worst-tasting alcoholic beverage I’ve ever consumed. We actually bought it with the intention of bringing it to our buddy’s cabin and drinking it while sprawled on the pontoon and never brought it with us. Given that it was so dirt cheap and not completely terrible this is a scene that will likely play out at some point.

That MD 20/20 was fucking delicious!
That she put her wine bottles on a tea-totlers lawn was fucking priceless.

Never drive after drinking MD 20/20. Take the Night Train instead. You can ride in Southern Comfort all the way to Boone’s Farm.

I find it extremely disturbing that someone would refer to MD 20/20 as ‘wine’… or vanilla extract, for that matter. YIKES.

Now, now. We don’t know if Nancy was driving drunk. For all we know, she may be guilty only of littering.
Maybe the empties were Mr. ZZA’s. Maybe Nancy was merely sick to death of kicking them around the living room.

What they don’t tell you is that, before this sign was painted over, it read “Bumble County Recycling Center”, which is why all the bottles are stacked so neatly.

How drunk could she be?She managed to toss those suckers from a moving car and have them land in a passably straight line.
My vote for athlete of the year.

This is sad, but if this is such a small community, and it is clear that there is a problem, how come she is still out driving around??

Is Mad Dog 20/20 really wine anyway? You have to be a really desperate drunk to drink that swill. There are a lot of better choices for the “Alcoholic on a Budget:” such as Boone’s Farm, Box ‘O Wine or Gallo.

I used about six bottles of Mad Dog to whip up a banquet-sized tray of Chicken Marsala for Christmas dinner.
