You can't make this stuff up
Evidently it's OK to edit headlines while under the influence too. That's the way it appeared on the WFTV site.
State OKs Drunken Bicycling, Horseback RiddingPOSTED: 10:30 am EST February 2, 2006
PIERRE, S.D. -- State lawmakers decided Wednesday that it's better to have drunks on horses and bicycles instead of behind the wheel of a car.The state Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill 6-1 that will exempt horses and bikes from drunken driving laws, meaning intoxicated people who either pedal or saddle up to get home cannot be arrested for drunken driving.
While I think it's silly to prosecute people for riding bicycles or horses while they're intoxicated, this quote from the article just makes me laugh:
A former lawman, Sen. Gene Abdallah, agreed."I can't believe that a horse is going to intentionally run into anything," Abdallah said. "This is a good avenue to get some people home."
Yeah, right, Gene. The first thing a guy will think when he stumbles out of a bar is, "Wow, I'm too drunk to drive... I better ride ol' Paint instead. Now, where'd that critter get to?"
