White Trash Wednesday

Reuters has this story from last month:

IAMI (Reuters) - An 11-year-old girl was charged with drunken driving after leading police on a chase at speeds of up to 100 mph that ended when she flipped the car in an Alabama beach town.

A video camera in the police car captured the look of surprise on the officer's face when he approached the wrecked car and got a look at the motorist.

The Mobile Press-Register newspaper said the patrolman saw the Chevrolet Monte Carlo speeding and flashed his lights to signal the driver to stop. Instead, the car sped faster, traveling at up to 100 mph (160 kph) before sideswiping another vehicle and flipping over in the Gulf Coast town of Orange Beach, Alabama, on Tuesday night.

That there's just reg'lar funny (and don't give me no guff. Nobody got hurt - it's funny).

What makes this here thing White Trash Wednesday funny is this screenshot from BBspot:

I think whoever does ad serving for Reuters needs to rethink their algorithms - it's probably not a great idea to put a beer ad in an article that contains the words "drunken driving."

In-Jokes Explained, #1

| 1 Comment

Bob & Tom often employ a kind of forbidden-joke shorthand. They regularly throw out punchlines that aren't themselves dirty, but, if combined with the rest of the corresponding joke, would bring the FCC down on them like the Hand Of God (or at least the Hand Of God-Botherers).

For the whole joke behind "Where do you think they held the auction?" go here. For "Hey, lady, your sign fell down," go here.

No charge. Just another public service I'm happy to provide.

Another Angle On The Goose Creek "Bombers"

Maybe the two guys caught on their way to Naval Weapons Center Charleston had fireworks, maybe they had pipe bombs. They'll sort that out presently. What worries me at least as much about this story is that the Navy has its consolidated brig at the same base where they store nukes!

White Trash Wednesday

You've heard of the expression "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining?" How about "Don't piss in my ear and tell me I've got an infection?" Listen to this clip from hour 1 of last Tuesday's Bob & Tom.

You Can't Say She Didn't Give You Fair Warning

White Trash Wednesday

A woman gets picked up for DUI. Not newsworthy, right? Happens all the time. Except in this case Jolene done went and advertised it:

Amanda Lynn Bailey couldn't have picked a more appropriate shirt for her arrest on DUI charges.

The 41-year-old is a dealer for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa. She was arrested July 31 and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a cancelled, suspended or revoked license.

It was her second DUI arrest in three months.

The shirt in question:

I'm not an alchoholic, I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

Now I get it. She had to wear the shirt as a condition of her first offense! [H/T FARK]
