When Will You People Start Listening to Us?

drunk2.jpgTwo weeks ago, we ran Common Sense Lesson #139. Here’s what we said:

Well the Common Sense Lessons really don’t get any more basic than this - don’t show up to your DUI hearing drunk.

Seriously, people, it’s not a hard one to commit to memory.

Well we can add 61-year-old David Milam, of Alabama, to the list of people who must not have such a good memory. Milam had a pending DUI charge from a little over a month ago. When he showed up to court for a hearing about the charge, the judge ordered him to take a breathalyzer test. It was 10 o’clock in the morning, and Milam blew a .27 (!), over three times the legal limit (and more than the .22 he blew when he actually got his DUI).

Bravo, Mr. Milam. It takes a special kinda guy to be wasted at 10 in the morning. I’m kind of in awe.
