Another unorthodox DUI

Yesterday, it was an Aussie in a wheelchair. Today, it's an Alaskan on a mower:

Alaska State Troopers used lights and sirens to apprehend a North Pole man suspected of driving under the influence after he allegedly led them on a slow-speed chase that covered several lawns.

The 20-year-old man was on a riding mower. Sunday's pursuit lasted about 200 feet and reached speeds of up to 5 mph before a trooper got out of a cruiser and told the man to stop.

Troopers received a call early Sunday complaining of an intoxicated man driving a mower. They said Wyatt Lewis's blood-alcohol content was 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

Now, I'm aware of the fact that drunk people aren't known for coming up with good ideas, but I see stories like this once in a while and wonder, who the hell thinks booze and spinning blades are a good combination?

Oh, right. Dumbasses.
