Heavy night of drinking? Ride a Horse!
This from the AP news service:
The (state supreme) court ruled Wednesday in a case against two men in Mercer County in 2002. Riders Keith Travis, 41, and Richard Noel, 49, were charged with drunken driving along with a man driving a pickup who allegedly rear-ended the horse Travis was riding away from a bar on a dark country road.
All three men failed field sobriety tests, police said, but a judge threw out the charges against Noel and Travis after they argued that the word "vehicles" in the state's drunken-driving law doesn't apply to horses.
Welcome 2 the wild, wild west ladies and gentlemen. And here I thought only the Amish rode horses around these days. But Amish guys don't drink, do they?
Kind of puts a whole new spin on the term hot 2 trot. Next time I'm stumbling out of Central Station, my horse will be waiting 4 me 2 ride ... or perhaps he'll just be hung like a horse.
Ta, kiddies.
