Disclaimer: BCU does not endorse driving under the influence, in fact, our staff probably pays a quarter of the San Diego cab union’s yearly salary, due to our 100% dedication to drinking responsibly. There is nothing funny about putting other peoples’ lives in danger.

HOWEVER, THIS IS HILARIOUS.

The time: Last Wednesday

The place: New Zealand

The person: A VERY dedicated alcoholic

Paul Nigel Sneddon, 47, was feeling depressed. Let go from his job as a baker (apparently he lives in 1827), he decided to do what many of us do — drown his sorrows… for 4 straight days. After his binge, he decided to drive himself home, and oddly enough, that didn’t end well. He crashed his car into a ditch, where it wedged between two trees, trapping him.

Let’s think. What is the next logical step? Use your cell phone to call for help? Try to break a window? See if the backseat doors are working? NO, STUPID. Obviously the next logical step is to sit back, relax, pop open another brewski and wait for help to come to you.

And that’s just what he did. Unfortunately, the police didn’t see the innovation of Paul’s idea, and arrested him for reckless driving and having a blood alcohol content 3 times above the legal limit.

You’ve gotta admit, though, he’s committed to his craft.
