Police Arrest Man For Driving Law Mower While Under Influence Of Alcohol

And no, that was not me! Now sure, I have had a couple of beers while mowing the yard, but never been tempted to cruise down the road...

Reminds me of someone down here who drove into cars constantly when he went driving. Police were convinced he was DUI but he was just a crummy driver!!

 

Reminds me of an ex-boss of mine who bought his wife a motor mower for Christmas. Took it into into the bedroom on Christmas morning.

Started it up.

Chewed up the carpet. Bazza

Wasn't there a movie a couple years back about a guy who didn't drive but wanted to see his brother or something and made a trip across the US on his Cub Cadet with all his stuff packed in the trailer??

PS: of course, he was sober

 

I love my 'peeps'. Between Bubba and our Louisiana politicians, you can almost always find something funny in the paper.

Yes, there was - really good movie. When I remember what it was called, I'll post it if someone else hasn't already remembered.

 

The Straight Story - he sets off on his John Deere lawn mower to visit his brother who has had a stroke and who he's estranged from because they had a fight 10 years ago. (Don't ya love Google?? )

http://imdb.com/title/tt0166896/ - the synopsis says it's based on a true story.

 

I watched that movie, dude was sober. Not so with some of the folks around here!

"Here, hold my beer..." famous last words sometimes.
