    If the man were firing a pistol in the air while riding the lawnmower, would you fail to see the issue?

    Or do your critical faculties just turn off at the relationship between driving and a lawnmower?

    Silly—really.

    I thought DUI was a misdemeanor. I don’t drive until the next day if I’ve had any amount of alcohol, but still, if no one was hurt and there was no property damage, then it should be a normal misdemeanor.

  5. Improbus says:

    Next time the cracker will probably be driving a horse. Can you get a DUI for riding a horse?

    Is it to much to ask that the moran think ahead so he can have enough booze on hand at home so as not to endanger the motoring public? I guess so.

  9. Jägermeister says:

    #7 – I’m not sure if it’s for real or not.

    Probably not.

    Well, to skew the topic a little, there’s always the argument in California here, if we tighten up immigration and keep the illegal immigrants out who will pick our crops and mow our lawns.

    George Jones, the Country Singer also was busted for drunk mowing on a public highway.
