Blackwater 53393 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 My folks used to keep a bottle of Jack Daniels in the pantry for a couple of the local Menonite patriarchs. They aren’t supposed to drink liquor, but, you know, medicinal purposes… 🙄🤣 1 1 Quote

About a 1/2 ounce over the course of an hour. Quote

About a 1/2 ounce over the course of an hour. Done that myself! I’ve never had a DUI, but there was one instance where I should have gotten one. I was nineteen years old and it was the dead of winter on a Saturday night, (or maybe a Sunday morning) and I had been partying all day! You’ve all heard the old story about being stoned and sitting through a couple cycles of the traffic light. It happened to me for real! I pulled up to the intersection of Donelson Pike and Lebanon Road and stopped for the red light. I don’t know how long I sat there, but the local “bad news cop” woke me up, tapping on the window of the car with his flashlight. I knew him because he had a reputation for being a hardass and I was a local street outlaw that he was very familiar with, (long before Street Outllaws was ever thought of) and because my dad was also a cop. It was my mother’s Lincoln MkIII and I hit the window button and rolled down the window! “ROEHRICH!” he said, “we’ve tried red, green, and yellow! You waitin’ on purple or something?” I don’t recall what I answered with, but he leaned down to look me square in the eye and said, “You take yer ass straight to the house and put this damned thing in the garage! I’m gonna follow you! If you don’t, I’m gonna haul your ass outta that car and drag it straight to jail!” I went straight home!! Two days later, my old man read me all 300 pages of the Riot Act and told me if I pulled that trick again he’d take me to jail himself!! Sgt. Jim Massey never did let me forget that and reminded me of it on numerous occasions!! Edited January 22 by Blackwater 53393 2 Quote
