>> THE SHOTGUN RULES
>>
>>The rules listed below apply to the calling of Shotgun (the passenger
>>seat)in an automobile. These rules are definitive and binding.
>>
>>
>>1. In order to call Shotgun, the caller must pronounce the word
>>"Shotgun"in a clear voice. This call must be heard and acknowledged by
>>the driver. The other occupants of the vehicle need not hear the
>>call as long as the driver verifies the call.
>>
>>2. Shotgun may only be called if all occupants of the vehicle are
>>outside and on the way to said vehicle.
>>
>>3. Early calls are strictly prohibited. Shotgun may only be called
>>while walking toward the vehicle and only applies to the drive
>>immediately forthcoming. Shotgun can never be called while inside a vehicle
>>or still technically on the way to the first location. For example, one can
>>not get out of a vehicle and call Shotgun for the return journey.
>>
>>4. The driver has final say in all ties and disputes. The driver
>>has the right to suspend or remove all shotgun privileges from one or
>>more persons.
>>
>>
>>These special exceptions to the rules above should be considered in
>>the orderpresented; the case listed first will take precedence over any of the
>>cases beneath it, when applicable.
>>
>>1. In the instance that the normal driver of a vehicle is drunk or
>>otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she
>>is automatically given Shotgun.
>>
>>2. If the instance that the person who actually owns the vehicle is
>>not driving, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they decline.
>>
>>3. In the instance the the driver's spouse, lover, partner, etc.is going to
>>accompany the group, he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they
>>decline.
>>
>>4. In the instance that one of the passengers may become so ill
>>during the course of the journey that the other occupants feel he/she
>>will toss their cookies, then the ill person should be given Shotgun to
>>make appropriate use of the window.
>>
>>5. In the instance that only one person knows how to get to a given location
>>and this person is not the driver, then as the designated navigator for the
>>group they automatically get Shotgun, unless
>>they decline.
>>
>>6. In the instance that one of the occupants is too wide or tall to
>>fit comfortably in the back seat, then the driver may show mercy and
>>award Shotgun to the genetic misfit. Alternatively, the driver and
>>other passengers may continually taunt the poor fellow as they make a
>>three hour trip with him crammed in the back.
>>
>>The Survival of the Fittest Rule
>>
>>1. If the driver so wishes, he/she may institute the Survival of
>>the Fittest Rule on the process of calling Shotgun. In this case all
>>rules, excepting I-4, are suspended and the passenger seat is occupied
>>by whoever can take it by force.
>>
>>2. The driver must announce the institution of the Survival of the
>>Fittest Rule with reasonable warning to all passengers. This clause reduces
>>the amount of blood lost by passengers and the damage done to the vehicle.
>>
>>Please follow the above rules to the best of your ability. If
>>there are any arguments or exceptions not covered in these rules,
>>please refer to rule I-4.
