I had a dream the other night. Before going any further I should note that I live in Pennsylvania.

Without going into all the details I will briefly summarize the situation. I was visiting out-of-state and had reason to believe that I might receive a gift of a nice bottle of wine. Now I could have consumed the gift on the spot or drove home with it. I was pretty sure I would do the prudent thing and not drink a bottle of wine before driving a few hours.

However I do live in Pennsylvania and it is illegal to transport liquor into Pennsylvania with limited exceptions. I could claim it was sacramental wine but since I did not have a sacramental wine license or any other type of liquor license, that did not seem a good option.

The police have recently been enforcing that law. I just thought that should be mentioned lest you think I was dreaming it was Prohibition days.

Anyway, in my dream I drove back home to Pennsylvania with my present and as soon as I crossed the state border I was charged with illegal transportation of liquor into Pennsylvania.
