ZURICH, Switzerland,  Oct. 8 (UPI) -- A Swiss Google engineer said he has

 

designed an online sobriety test aimed at preventing people from sending e-mail

 

while drunk.

 

 

Jon Perlow said the feature, which requires users to solve five simple math

 

questions in 60 seconds, was inspired by his own intoxicated misuse of e-mail,

 

the New York Post reported Wednesday.

 

"Sometimes, I send messages I shouldn't," Perlow wrote to the newspaper. "Like

 

 the time I sent that late-night e-mail to my ex-girlfriend that we should get

 

back together."

 

 

E-mail etiquette experts said Perlow's idea is a good one but they don't

 

believe many users would be willing to test themselves.

 

"The only people I could see using this are those who have gotten into actual

 

trouble doing this," Cherie Kerr, founder of ExecuProv, a California consulting

 

firm specializing in corporate culture and e-mail manners, told the Post.

RIM should buy this and make it standard on all bberrys w/ the program activating b/t midnight and 6am.  Of course then some of the booty calls that actually came to fruition may never have happened.  Never mind.  Someone needs to destroy this program!

The funny thing is that for some reason this last weekend Sara and I were talking about having a breathalyzer on your cell phone to avoid drunk dialing. I guess we are just to late.

Is there a way to set this up to register the point at which one more drink will result in whiskey d*ck? You know, for a friend...

It doesn't really matter because If she’s cute enough to take home, then it’s already too late.
