I hate to make a joke out of Burke's misfortune, but his DUI charge reminds me of a rather amusing incident that happened just the other day. My university semester just started two weeks ago, and as always they had a freshman 'welcoming' party, which basically involves getting the freshmen trashed and sending them home in a taxi.
Anyway, three of my friends (who are in the 4th year of their studies) got thoroughly pissed aswell, and the three of them got in the car to take another female friend home. The driver was also drunk at the time, which I absolutely don't condone, but I wasn't there at the time to stop the fool from getting behind the wheel.
My 4 friends were cruising along when the driver decided that he'd hit drifted into the other lane and kit the kerb one too many times, so he decided to pull the car over and sleep, as did my other 3 drunk friends. The girl in the car was getting frustrated, and stepped out of the car for one reason or another.
At that moment, a police car drove by, and told the girl that her friends were parked in a 'no parking' zone, and drove off (luckily they didn't breathalyse the driver, even though this was about 3 in the morning). So the girl walks over to the car, knocks on the driver side window and tells my friend to move his car. So he wakes up, starts the car, and drives away :LOL:
Luckily, my friend had her phone with her, and could call someone to pick her up. Otherwise she would've been totally screwed, stranded on the side of the road in the wee hours of the morning.
I gave one of the other passengers a call in the morning (the other two wouldn't pick up), and in an extremely drowsy voice, he managed to answer my questions in a rather vague manner.
"Weren't there 4 people in the car when you left?"
"ummm..... hmm.....yeah.... but only 3 of us got out."
