I've been a Baaaaad Boy

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

OK, so I’ve been umpiring in a men’s fast pitch tournament all day. I had a few (3) beers before I left the ball field. Then I got stopped on the way home doing 66 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Since I was cooperative, he reduced it to 55 in a 40. He asked me how much I had to drink, I told him. He appreciated my honesty, and said he’d let the drinking go.

I also found out the hard way that I was driving on a suspended license. I received a ticket in Oklahama last year that I haven’t paid (I live in Georgia). Now ‘official’ notice has been served, if I get stopped again, It’s off to jail I go.

Now what the hell am I suppose to do? (That’s a Rhetorical question for all you that are jump up answer that one! :))

I’ll answer it anyway.

(1) Pay the ticket in Oklahoma;

(2) Don’t drink and drive, and don’t go much over the limit;

(3) Don’t get caught again; or

(4) Some or all of the above.

Glad to be helpful. <tips hat>

  1. Don’t drink and drive.

  2. Don’t ever drink and drive.

  3. Just to be on the safe side, don’t drink.

  4. Don’t ever, ever drink and drive.

  5. Go the speed limit or lower. It isn’t worth the five seconds you gain for the chance to have to pay 50 bucks or whatever it is where you live.

  6. Pay the fine. If you’re feeling particularly daring, pay like a dollar more than it is, and make it a check. They (the DMV)'ll send you a check for that dollar, but don’t let them know you got it. That way it doesn’t go on your record.

Note: I haven’t actually done this, but I’ve heard it works. Any takers for a trial run?

PS. How wasted were you from 3 beers to do 66 in a 40 zone? Or did you purposefully go that fast?

Here he comes, here comes Drunk Racer, he’s a demon on wheels.
He’s a demon and he’s gonna be crashing into someone.

He’s paying Okies so you’d better look alive.
He’s busy drinking up his brewskies on the side.

And when the odds are against him in the OK court,
You bet your life, Drunk Racer, he was speeding too.

Go Drunk Racer, go Drunk Racer,
Go Drunk Racer, Gooo-oooooo!

LMAO Damn good one Chief!

Welp, just to be a smartass, since nobody has said it yet… Don’t Drink and Drive, cuz you might spill your drink. Damn pot holes.

Call the damned strike zone the way it’s written in the rules!!

But I want to state it for the record… should anyone think I’m a lush. (and hopefully to appease some of the crusaders here)

The drinking referenced above was three cans of beer, consumed over an hour before I left the field.

I volunteered to take an electronic field sobriety test, and the policeman said that the alcohol barely registered.

I’m not madly cruising the streets with a gut full of liquor. Because of several alcohol related incidents in my life (i.e. wife’s Uncle got killed by a drunk driver), I’m very conscientious about any alcohol consumption.

So… I WASN’T drinking and driving.
While I WAS speeding, I was also going with the flow of traffic. Defensive driving school taught me years ago, that’s safer than slowing everybody else down. Some of you Atlanta people… you see how people drive here… I’m still one of the ones getting my doors blown off by a sports car.

I’m not a bad person, really I’m not!

…and Chief… well, what can I say… You’re the Chief.

Some of us are just damned unlucky.
While some seem to go everywhere at 100 mph and never get caught it is the decent few that once in a while do something rash that end up getting the book thrown at them.
I guess thats life!!

The motto of the story? Stuffed if I know. Probably abide by the law and the cops won’t take any notice of you.
Pretty profound eh?

Or you could be lucky like me, 100+ all the time, then i get pulled over and written a ticket, BUSTED FOR A 4 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!!! at least it wasnt for 125 in a 50

By the way it was 44 in a 40 zone.
