Jerry + Beer + Car = Trouble

Last night, I picked up Jerry to watch World War Z with me. This is our conversation after being on the road for a few minutes.

Mike: What’s that sound?

Jerry: Oh, is it this?

Jerry extends his arm to reveal a partially consumed beer bottle.

Mike: JERRY! What the hell are you doing!?

Jerry: What’s wrong? It’s just a beer!

Mike: That’s illegal.

Jerry: Really? Passengers can’t drink a beer in the car? I’m not driving.

Mike: No. It’s still illegal. Now, let’s get rid of it.

Jerry: No problem!

Jerry downs the entire beer and empties the bottle.

Mike: That… that works.
