No really, I have.
I got busted for a DUI in 1982 while sitting in the drive thru lane, after I ordered my food, of the Burger King on McHenry Avenue in Modesto, CA.
I had closed the bar and was headed home when the brakes on my '68 Fury hard-pedaled on me causing me to run the red light. I figured, fuck it, I have the munchies anyway, so I continued on my way to grab a bite, apparently not noticing the red and blue flashing lights behind me for the next mile or so.
I ordered my food, pulled forward, and was startled by the nice policeman tapping on my window and asking if I thought I could back that fucking tank out of there without hitting anything.
I was surprised as hell when I blew a .24 - I didn't think I was all that fucked up. The cop was cool about it, too - I used to finish a beer, crush the can, and shove it under the front seat. When he started digging them out while doing the 'inventory', he was laughing his ass off, telling me that technically he could he could also write me up for 20 something counts of opened containers. We laughed and laughed.....
