Only in FLA: (Drunken) Parents of the Year

Why we insist on allowing EVERYONE with penis and a uterus to breed is beyond me. It’s a shame the kids are the ones that have to suffer. I mean, really, what kind of parents get so wasted on a Saturday with their kids that they black out WHILE DRIVING HOME and can’t even remember [...]
