I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

Driving a friend home

Up +55 Down

One night my friends and I went out to our favorite bar/club. As usual, we were all drunk and were having a blasty. Then, as usual, something went wrong. A fight broke out and my friend had his ankle cut open by a broken beer bottle. We left the bar and walked to my buddy's place. When we got there, we realized he needed stitches, the cut was really deep. So I, in my drunken state, decided to drive him to the hospital. After semi-blackoutedly harassing hospital patients while waiting on my friend, I decided to drive us back home. Half a block later a cop was behind me with his lights on. When he walked to the car he immediately knew that I had been drinking. Luckily I had turned 21 a week earlier. He then performed the sobriety test, which he had to demonstrate first. He must have either also been drunk or was just really clumsy, because he couldn't do any of the tasks very well. He could barely hold his foot up for 7 wobbly seconds before setting it down. Meanwhile, I performed like a drunken champion, holding my foot up for more than 30 seconds before he told me to stop. He said that I was borderline too drunk to drive and that I needed to walk the rest of the way home; he would drive my injured friend home. When he parked my car for me he said, "You know, the only reason I pulled you over was because you didn't have your lights on". I said, "Oh wow, well I've made that mistake while I was sober plenty of times". He turned suddenly grave, asking me if I wasn't sober. I looked at him equally gravely and said, "Even after one drink, no one is 100% sober". He nodded and let me go. Thank god for those corny sayings they teach you in D.A.R.E.
