I guess his Aston Martin was in the shop

It sounds like this oh so suave guy may have had a few too many Martinis, shaken, not stirred. Or maybe just a bunch of malt liquor. Either way, it sound like he was plenty drunk:

Police say a tuxedo-clad western New York man was drunk when he took a riding lawn mower out for an early morning spin.

Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph Gerace said deputies got a report of an intoxicated person at a home in Irving around 1 a.m. Monday. When they arrived, the man was spotted riding away on his mower.

Deputies who stopped the Irving resident charged him with felony driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation.

Huh. I didn't know you needed to have a license to operate a riding mower. But riding around on an open vehicle with whirling blades on it while soused is certainly a bad idea.
