Who Wants Tacos!

It's bad enough being so drunk that you pass out in the driver's seat of your car. In the drive-thru lane of a Taco Bell. Long enough for the cops to come and arrest you. But skim through the short news story in the link and see if anything else strikes you as funny...

Okay, there's probably a few things that tickled your funny bone, first of which was that the police found "SEVERAL open CASES of beer" in her car. Plus pills. Maybe it's time to admit you have a problem, ma'am.


But wait, if you skipped the last sentence of the blurb, you missed the best part:

"Both of her passengers were also arrested after police said they were found to be in possession of pills for which they did not have prescriptions."

She had two passengers with her?? Um...well, so many questions pop into my head at this point. Granted, they too were picked up for having pills they weren't prescribed, so we can assume they weren't exactly sober themselves (and it's likely they were helping with the beer). Nevertheless, they must have been pretty buzzed themselves to first let a drunk drive them to Taco Bell, then to sit there while she was passed out! Who knows, maybe they were trying to wake her. Maybe the car belonged to one of the passengers, so they didn't just want to try to walk home or call a cab to leave the drive-thru. Or maybe they were just really hungry and very, very patient.

Whatever the reason, I think we need to include these passengers as honorary Genius Drivers. After all, they were at least slightly more fit to drive than their unconscious companion behind the wheel. So from everyone here and everyone playing along at home, let's all wish this tipsy taco-craving trio a great big:

WAY TO GO, GENIUS!
