Here's something you might be interested in.
I'm watching the nighttime football game, and during commercials, I'm flipping over to Cops on Tru TV. I know there's going to be a day when I do that, and actually see a former NFL player that makes an appearance.
I just saw a receiver on the Giants make the best catch of the day. It was deflected by a cornerback and flew 30 feet away to another receiver, who sauntered into the end zone with it.
I went back over to Cops, and saw some drunk dudes on a boat. Nothing funnier than a guy with a Pabst Blue Ribbon shirt, trying not to slur as he tells the cops he's only had a "couple of beers". And then explaining that it's hard for him to follow along with his finger during the sobriety test, because he's staring into the sun.
I don't know how that ended, because I wanted to get back to the game before the next play started.
But it reminded me of a story the AP ran the other day. A guy in Duluth, Minnesota (home of my late uncle), who got arrested for drunk driving. Wanna guess what he was driving?
A lawnmower? Nope, but that's been done before.
A golf cart? No, but Bill Murray got arrested for driving one of those drunk in another country.
A Segway? That's one I haven't heard yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time (on a side note: did sales of those go up after Paul Blart surprisingly made well-over $100 million at the box office?)
No, this guy was driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while intoxicated.
I did a blog once about a guy that got arrested for driving a barstool around. And, someone sent me a video a month ago that showed a drunk guy in a town called "Slab" that was driving around a cooler, filled with alcohol.
The 62-year-old told cops he left a bar after drinking eight or nine brews (gotta love his honesty).
His blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when he crashed into a parked vehicle.
I'm guessing he didn't have air bags.
One police officer said the chair was "quite decked out".
It's powered by a lawn mower that's been converted. It runs on gasoline, has a steering wheel, headlights, stereo, power antenna, and cup holders, of course. Where else would he put the beer?
Now, if this guy was really creative, he would've combined a remote control that's also a garage door opener.
The La-Z-Boy can get up to 20 mph, which probably makes it the slowest vehicle around to have a National Hot Rod Association sticker on the headrest.
A judge gave him two years probation.
The story doesn't say if he rode the thing into court for the sentencing. I'm guessing a judge wouldn't be happy with that.
