Oy Vey!

July 20th, 2006

There’s lots to say about this article from the Manawatu Standard about the arrest of a librarian on drunk drive charges:

1) The subtitle states, “When it came to breath alcohol readings, the assistant librarian was top shelf.” - very clever!

2) From the article: “He said she was returning from an extended lunch when the accident occurred.” - I hope she wasn’t on lunch from work!

3) Here’s the kicker: “As she was a part-time librarian, she had little ability to pay fines. She could, however, do community work.” - Wowza! I’m going to try that line when I get pulled over. I can picture what I would say…

…“I’m sorry officer, I can’t my fine. You know I’m just a librarian, right? I have 5 cats at home that need to get fed”.
