My funny story with beer, cars and police.

[Marius]

Ok, here is my story with beer and driving.

Ten years ago I was driving after drinking more or less six beers. I was 20 years old and it was a short five minutes trip to my home, I decided to drive because there was no train or bus and it was a very desertical area.

Another car "jumped" (I don't know the word in English) a red traffic light. We crashed but nobody was injured. He admitted his mistake and he seemed very sorry.

2 minutes later the police arrives, they start yelling at me, making me feel responsible for the accident and I got really mad (this happens to me quite often when talking with authorities). The other guy starts to smille.

Five minutes later I found myself arrested and sleep that night in jail, without any medical exam and those things. They make me an alcohol test (0.7) Next morning I pay 300€ and go home.

Now the funny part: six months ago (TEN YEARS LATER!!!!:rockinI recibe a letter that tells me to go to the judgement... whatever (another thing I don't know how it's called), They tell me I've been demanded for the guy of the accident, the police and the traffic system.

I went to the judgement, and they ask for 18 months without a driving licence and 7 months of prison. I reuse to defend myself as I don't admit they laws and don't want to get out with another accusation as I show my comtemp to all of them.

Finally I end up praising the Law system's agility, the police's imparciality and the other guy's honesty.

It's really nice now that I lost my job and my driving licence, I go walking everywhere, feel healthier, stressless, have lots of time for brewing and playing with my band, I save lots of money in petrol wich here is quite expensive (1'2 euros a litre).

Sorry for the lenght of the story and the grammar of the author.

Moral of the story?

Moral of the story: Any story involving alcohol and beers usually also includes police in the plot line.

But rarely any morals...

Wow, you da' man Marius! WTF?!?!?

I guess what would have happen if here we could take weapons with us like in the US...

Sure the ending of the story would have been different :rockin:

Here that privilege of having guns is reserved for those illuminated and touched by the fingers of God who protect mankind of it's own stupidity.

As this is the Drunken Ramblings...

How do you think the story would have ended if we could own guns in the Basque Country?

 

[Homercidal]

First YOu'd have to explain to this ignorant American what exactly the Basque country is.

(I'm actually not that bad with geography and history, but this one escapes me.

And if you had a gun here, in that situation, you would either be on the evening news, or it would have made no difference at all. You can't even draw your weapon over something like this.

Basque country is in the Pyrennes mountains. That pretty much tells you where it is

This is mountainous area between the borders of Spain and France. The Basques have been "fighting" for freedom from Spain for a long time. They have their own language, their own cuisine including some VERY lovely cheeses

So....you got nabbed for drunk driving, and didn't get your license taken away until ten years after the fact...I don't see any humor in this story, you should consider yourself lucky...

If I lose my job, I'll sleep till noon,
If the news is bad, I'll watch cartoons;
If my house burns down, I'll have lots more room,
And a much better view of the moon.
