"Ohio man charged with drunken driving on bar stool
March 31st, 2009 @ 7:06am

NEWARK, Ohio (AP) - Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool.

Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.

Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial."

The fact that this happened twice in the same day in the same town is mind boggling!

We used to have an annual lawn mower race in our town. Unfortunately some people had to customize them with souped up engines and wheelie bars and the event ended.

They were probably drinking, too.
