The Dee Dee Dee Award this week goes to a man in Australia that was busted for a DUI...get this...in his wheelchair. WTF? Turns out that police arrested him after he breathed a .31 alcohol reading and as this article says, "was so drunk he was asleep at the controls of his motorised wheelchair in a turning lane of a major highway."
I didn't even know that was possible to be arrested in a wheelchair. I guess that makes him vulnerable at any time. I mean...technically he's ALWAYS "driving". Can you imagine having that worry ALL THE TIME?
Apparently "wheelchairs, bicycles, horses and skateboards were all considered to be vehicles under the state's road laws." I personally don't feel that skateboards should be in this list because really...most of us can't skateboard when we're sober, I can't imagine TRYING to skateboard when you're drunk. But that's just me.
So, you make ask....why is this guy this week's DEE DEE DEE? Because of what I wrote before: he was asleep at the controls of his motorized wheelchair in a turning lane of a major highway. How did that happen? That's soooo crazy! If you're going to get drunk, AVOID highways...especially in a wheelchair. Honestly, dude, what were you thinking? I guess he had to be somewhere....it's like John Witherspoon's joke:
"People always say 'don't drink and drive...well, how the hell are we supposed to get home then?"
Congrats wheelchair guy...you're this week's dee dee dee....I would say, don't drink and drive...but I guess that would be hard for you to do....Ouch! Too soon?
