Kile Wygle Gets DUI On Motorized Bar Stool

NEWARK, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.

Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

Clearly, this is bush's fault.

Guess it gives new meaning to the expression "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" and I guess he was planning on driving his way around the time zones perhaps? ;o)

G.M. is manufacturing these as a way to avoid bankruptcy. A vehicle for the 21st century. Clean and affordable.

That is a smart contraption. Just a dumb way of utilizing the invention. Hopefully he will post the plans to build one of my own online.

Jury trial in Ohio? His "peers" will vote him innocent, for sure.

His "peers" will throw a keg-er and have bar-stool races.... Wish I were there....

Well each night I leave the bar-room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
But tonight the bottle let me down

This is another reason to re-institute the death penalty. I'd give him the "chair"

I'm impressed that this guy already got his hands on one of the new 2010 models coming out of Detroit.
