"Yets"

One of the things you hear in AA meetings is the topic of "yets". Those are stupid things you haven't done while drunk, but they're in your future if you don't stop. For example, I have "yet" to asphyxiate on my own vomit, you get the idea. If you don't want them to happen, stay sober.

Here is another "yet" that I wouldn't want, found via Lucianne.com;

DULUTH, Minn.— A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor (are the residents known as "Proctologists"?) on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, (0.30 is when you can go comatose from alcohol poisoning. At least according to the War Dept.) when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. (Smooth move, Ex-Lax.) He was not seriously injured.

Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders. (If ya gonna go, do it in style.)

Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson. His attorney, David Keegan, did not immediately return a call for comment.

Somehow I doubt he'll be contacted for a product endorsement by the La-z-Boy folks.
