I Should have been arrested for DWI early last night (Sunday). It was a light snow and I went to take money out for some stuff and say my banks empty parking lot and gunned it thing I could just swing the tail. Well, my front wheel drive Ford Taurus went straight into a snow bank.
I was drinking 10 year old 90 proof bourbon and diet Cokes (watching football) and was wasted. I was also very stuck and attempting to dig myself out ill prepared, (bad shoes, no boots), slipping and falling like a drunken sailor. Just as I had a felling I should just turn off he car and call my wife to have her call AAA (realize I was doing a quick pick up behind her back so this was my last resort). Of course all of the sudden the boys in blue arrive. I attempt to slur my intention to call my wife for AAA. The PO then says he clearly smells a powerful order of alcohol and could see I was in NO CONDITION TO DRIVE and that is when I thought I was busted. He didn't ask for any sobriety tests even though I fell down twice when shoveling in front of him. Just sunk my head saying I would lose my job if I was arrested - played the sympathy card (last ditch effort when you know you're fucked). He asked if I had kids and told him yes. He also asked for my reg (no issue and my license (which i didn't even have on me - He asked for some ID I provided a credit card and DOB). after all this the cop asks for my home number and speaks to my wife and asks if she could call AAA, the PO explained I was in no condition to drive, then the PO gave me a ride literally 1/8 a mile to my home and then got my wife - gave me one more lecture for which I thanked him again for not arresting my inebriated ass. I was probably 4xs over the legal limit.
Merry fucking Christmas indeed. I learned a HUGE LESSON.
