I actually saw a lawnmower parked at a local watering hole once! Apparently that's all the dude had for transportation and it was there often.

The town drunk in the small town I grew up in in central Wisconsin drove a lawnmower to the bar all the time. I think he got at least two drunk driving offenses with it before he stopped.

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

We had a guy in my home town who would come down the hill to the American Legion on his lawn mower, never learned the story but always figured that was the case, lost license and car. Never thought much of it, a lawn mower isn't going to total your ride and put you in the hospital if the drunk driving it tries to turn into you, any normal street vehicle though, no tolerance for driving after drinking.

Met a guy that had 2 DUIs and a third because he thought he could ride his horse to the tavern. You guessed it. DUI on a horse.

Yeah, but what was the horse's B.A.C.?

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

That's why a Scottish friend of mine rode a horse to the bar whenever he could....the horse always knows the way home!

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

Uh, happens in upstate NY too. Local guy here was arrested driving his lawnmower down the road, while drunk, with his mother in a little trailer behind the lawnmower.

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

I got a ticket once, because my drunken horse would jump the fence, go to the bar and not leave. I framed it.

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

Had a one legged patient drive a John Deer lawn mower through downtown New Orleans to a clinic appointment next door to the super dome. Had a picture on my phone of it parked outside, complete with The Club, with the Dome in the background. Priceless.

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

Had a guy in the next town over who would have his dog pull him to the bar on his bike. He wasn't all hooked up right in the brain though.

IIRC, she crashed a state owned vehicle in the process.

Re: Wisconsin, It's like that

One REALLY has to read that article carefully vw. Thanks for that. Nearly sent me up onto the roof with an automatic weapon, until I read the rest. Hell of a way to write, eh?

And no, I unfortunately DON'T own any automatic weapons. Such a thing is banned up here in Canuckia, as they are prone to robbing banks, killing innocents, jaywalking, and even shoplifting writ large.
