    One of my friends owned a lawn care company. One morning he got called to bail out one of his employees who was in jail for DUI on... a riding lawn mower.

    The funniest part was on the drive from jail, he told the employee to call to get the lawn mower out of the impound yard. He told them he needed to see about getting the lawn mower they towed in last night out of impound. Their answer...


    Which one?

    The other two they had towed had come from a company mowing around a pond and after rolling the first lawn mower into the pond, they still rolled another one in. But it was still funny.

    Lawn mower, bicycle, skateboard, it doesn't matter much anymore. SC doesn't have any real corner on crazy, either, it can happen pretty much anywhere.

    Oh, I left out snowmobiles and ATVs, I have seen wild and crazy things on both of those; the thing is, drunkenness or being doped up can cause lack of inhibition, even illness can cause it. Hypoglycemia can cause some really weird things I have seen.

    I didn't see where he failed any specific test in the article.

    Even those shoes with the wheels hidden under them will get you busted. However, if you are riding on the shoulders of someone wearing roller skates, and they're sober, you're ok.

    (This has been discussed at length over the years.) :biggrin_2559:
