A drinking joke was posted on Twitter on October 28, 2012:
“After finishing 10 pints I was weaving in the middle of the road. I thought, ‘It’d probably be safer to make this basket at home.’”
The joke is that the first part usually creates the assumption that the speaker had been driving a car “weaving” in the middle of the road. “After 8 beers I was dangerously weaving in the middle of the road, I guess it’s probably safer to make the basket at home” was posted on Reddit—Oneliners on March 17, 2018.
