Drink and Drive? Get A Free Funeral!

I was looking over on CNN's site and came across the following article. It's titled Thinking of Drinking on New Years Eve? And it goes on to say that a funeral home director in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has come up with a novel idea to make people think before they drink and drive this New Years Eve. From the article:

A funeral home director is adopting a strategy to shock motorists into staying sober -- free burial for anyone who signs a pledge to drink and drive on New Year's Eve.

They're hoping that people will stop and think before they think of driving drunk. Anyone with a driver's license can sign the pledge on New Year's Eve. So far, they say, no one has signed up.
