OK
Here is yet another short bus stupid vehicle story for you.
This one is not so funny... actually not at all funny but just a stupid one.
Let me first start out by saying I got a DUI back when I was 21 about 15 years ago (showing my age there a little) which scared me stiff from drinking and driving ever again (so I thought)
Well I worked at a speaker shop for about 5 years with a bunch of guys....(when I say guys what I really mean are drunks) Who on every friday (payday) afternoon would all hit the local bar to burn there paychecks in one evening. Every friday it was the same thing "Jiga.. you gonna have a few ****tails with us this time?". And my reply was always the same for years "No thanks dude, Its an hour ride home for me"
Well for some odd reason one friday came and I responded with a why not...I'll go and have one (yeah right... one)
So I went out with the boys and drank god knows how many beers, And god knows how many shots till I could barely stand.
The ride home was rough. Luckily I knew some back.. back... roads were I would more then likely never see another car. I was all over the road. I remember telling myself out loud " pick a lane you drunk *******"
Needless to say I made it home, pulled her in the garage, And realized ("**** ..I need smokes")
Well lucky for me there was an x-tra mart 3/4 of a mile from my house right?
Wrong!! Was reaching down looking for a cd, Cut the wheel into a telephone pole doing close to 50. Face through the windshield, 97 Jeep tj destroyed.
I somehow limped the mangled jeep home on 4 flats, put her in the garage, and stumbled upstairs. I climbed into bed with my girlfriend and said " I totaled the Jeep" she was confused with my drunken blood gurgling ramblings and turned on the light.
She started shaking when she saw my blood covered face. She begged and pleaded with me to go to the hospital but I would'nt have it fearing another DUI. Luckily I am the quickest healer you will ever meet and was good to go in a few days. The jeep....not so good.
Never again with the drinking and driving!
So why would I post such a long and personal thing like this. Its for all you guys just thinking of going out with the boys for a few and driving home. Just be careful!!!
I got lucky. You might not be so lucky.
