AUSTIN, TX- Area man Luke Jefferson, 46, pushed his luck again today with the amount of soft drink his paper cup could hold. Jefferson, who routinely visits the CiCi's Pizza on North Lamar Boulevard for lunch, decided to go all out when filling up his cup with Cherry Coke at the soft drink dispenser. Although he had already filled the cup almost to the brim, Jefferson, who describes himself as a "giant risk-taker," decided to take his chances with one more push on the back of the trigger labeled "Cherry Coke." "After that last fill-up, I couldn't get my top on without a bunch of Coke pourin' out the top and goin' all down my cup and everything," the man said exasperatedly. "This happens every time." Jefferson then went on to recall the time, as a kid, when he was "making a Suicide" and reluctantly had to pour out all the root beer portion of his concoction in order to fit the cap on. "That's just one time," he said. "I could go on and on for days." Jefferson smirked, wondering why "silly [him] always repeats the same darn mistakes." In order to solve his problem, Jefferson ended up pouring out some of his ice into the grated deposit at the bottom, although he could've just gone without a top in the first place.
