Ok this is not a joke people although it is funny:
Man Busted for DUI…for Driving a Motorized Bar Stool
Ohio resident Kile Wygle, 28, learned a difficult lesson this week. Be sure to sober up a little bit before you call the authorities, especially after you’ve wrecked your motorized barstool. Yep, the ingenious Wygle affixed a rigged-up chassis and a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine to a barstool, enabling him to cruise home at up to 40 miles per hour, all the while feeling like he never left his cushy seat at his favorite watering hole.
Unfortunately, on March 4th, Wygle took a spill at 20 miles per hour, and called 911 over worries about possible head injuries. When the officers arrived at the scene, Wygle reportedly told them, “I wrecked my barstool.” Wygle’s next door neighbor told the befuddled authorities that he had noticed someone driving a “strange” motorized machine. Strange? We say awesome.
After Wygle failed field sobriety tests, police charged him with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. Fortunately for Wygle (and for our entertainment), however, they didn’t impound his homemade ride. We wish we could find footage of the unique arrest to see this baby in action, but, even without a demonstration, we’d be glad to purchase one of these slick stool-scooters, in case he wants to manufacture them to help offset legal fees. It does look like it needs a cup holder, though.
