UK court rules against booze, pelicans

When a postman attempted to defend his drink driving (British for “drunk driving”) by claiming he stores booze like a pelican in a balloon in his throat,  the court would have none of that. Instead, he was charged with driving while more than double the legal limit and sentenced to £600 (British for “$1,200”) and banned from driving for 18 months.

So, to recap: that’s one charge against alcohol (BOO!) and one against animals (YAY!).

A new definition of dedication

Some people drink to have a good time. Others drink to make the voices go away. And some drink because they have a talent and drive to achieve the unachievable … to drink the undrinkable drink … to fight when they have nothing to booze …

*Ahem*

Anyway, today’s Picture of the Day is brought to you by “hungover Chris Foster, 18,” and the radiology department at NHS of the United Kingdom.

When the going got rough and friends probably threatened to take him home (he doesn’t remember), he swallowed his apartment key. Fortunately, this too passed and Foster didn’t have to pay £20 to his landlord for a new key. So, he’s all set for round two!
