Cops Bust Stool Fool
Ohio man arrested for drunk driving on a homemade vehicle

MARCH 31--In a law enforcement first, Ohio cops this month arrested a man for drunk driving on a motorized bar stool. That's right, a motorized bar stool, which can be seen below in a police evidence photo. According to cops, Kile Wygle, 28, crashed his bar stool near his Newark home earlier this month and called 911 due to his injuries. When an officer arrived and asked Wygle what happened, he answered, "I wrecked my bar stool." According to a Newark Police Division report, a copy of which you'll find here, Wygle's homemade ride is powered by a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. Wygle noted that the bar stool could hit nearly 40 miles per hour, but that he was only going 20 when he wiped out late in the afternoon on March 4 (a witness told police that he spotted someone driving a "strange motorized machine" before the crash). A plastered Wygle, who failed a series of field sobriety tests, was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license, both misdemeanors. His bar stool was not impounded. (5 pages)

I've never done that...  because I don't know how to weld.

If I did know how I think I might have a few wacky inventions stored in my garage.

I never have.  But then again I don't drink and therefore have never been drunk.

I notice you did not claim you have never been impaired though. ;)

I've never driven while impaired. 

I have been definable as "impaired" 4 times other than by illness or exhaustion.  None of them on purpose or my fault.

Twice by allergic reactions, once due to a chemical exposure and the remaining time a friend gave me 2 Tylenol (he insisted that is all they were but they were Tylenol 3 with codeine - it took me 10 years to get the truth out of him).
