REAL LIFE NEWS: DRINK-DRIVE CHAIR FOR SALEby HazedLast week a drink-driver was convicted of steering a very unusual vehicle along the highway while under the influence of alcohol. Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 62 years old, pleaded guilty to driving the roads of Minnesota while drunk. His vehicle? A motorized La-Z-Boy chair! He was arrested, and his chair-mobile was confiscated, after he smashed into a parked car as he returned home from a bar. The chair has a steering wheel in the style of a drag-racer, and can reach up to 20mph. It's powered by a lawnmower engine. It is also fitted with headlights, which must make it so much safer in the dark. Now the police are planning to put the chair up for auction, so if you fancy owning your very own motorized lounger, you can put in a bid for it. Read the news story here. |
