Police: cab driver caught drunk, pants down

“He went over there in the yard, then came over here in that ditch, then went to the side of the road all the way over there”

It's a little tougher to hail a taxi in McMinn County now, as one of the few Athens cab drivers is charged with DUI after police say he caused several hit-and-run wrecks. via WBIR-TV

Harder to get a cab, true, but I don't think I'd want to be riding in his cab anyway.

I'm going to go ahead and believe this one's a joke. Suffered enough? Unbelieveable. They are two people in their 50s who have gotten fired from delivering pizzas for getting a few too many DUIs. She's had multiples I know, and she even continued drinking for at least 6 or 7 hours after they hauled her husband to jail. She was already drunk around lunch time when they arrived to arrest him, and she was even more drunk by the time she left to go bail her husband out. We're all just lucky they didn't hurt anyone.

no wait, this is how you're supposed to phrase it.

(even though he's married.)
"how dare all you mean people say all of these mean things.
he's my boyfriend (or some family member of some kind.) and he's not like that at all."
"you people just don't know what a good person he is."

seeing as how that's always a bleeding heart response to anything involving some idiot who breaks the laws of a civil society.

you may go and crawl back under your rock now.

Well, that's exactly what should happen. Then, on their way home they can stop & have a few drinks b/c let's face it, they have suffered enough, drive home, & kill somebody. It sure would be awful if the people that these idiots kill one day is someone in your family. Get Real!

I am a local for what it's worth. I know exactly who Mary Winkler is, and I know this couple involved with this story. I live in Athens, saw the first wreck, and was simply making sure that was a joke because there are some idiots out there who would mean such a statement.
