Best intentions
John Deere Gator stick figure in peril, originally uploaded by Stevie-B.
I have to feel bad for this fellow. He drinks some wine, wants some more. He discovers that he doesn't have any more wine at home, and decides he needs to go get some. Being highly intoxicated, he takes the family tractor for a spin to the liquor store. Gets a DUI anyway:
A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said.
Police found Frank Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a John Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper bag, officials said.
He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store, two miles from home.
His blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower.
