not me, .....not me..... not me........nootttt meeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I used to work for a company in 1974 that installed the giant overhead signs on interstates. one night I was flagman ; bout 1 AM- standing at the top of the southbound exit ramp to let people know as they exit that work is being done as they exit , at bottom of ramp. Hoisting up a sign with 2 boom trucks at bottom of ramp . all of a sudden I hear screaming and yelling from below. here comes a car weaving up the exit ramp. I looked to see if anybody is getting off. no one is. I flagged the hell outta this guy - drunk as a skunk. passed me by and just kept gettin it north in the southbound lanes and finally crossed the wide grass median and kept headin North.
never to be seen again

His scooter wouldn't keep up with traffic on the highway, so he got creative.

Yep,and in 1974 you would just get told to go home for drunk driving.Nothing like nowadays.Remonds me of our sister city Moorhead.Coming off the highway you go left and it's on the LEFT side of the road.Sorta freaked my sister out coming from a different city.I just call it the Aerobud/milly section now.  |

I knew it couldn't be any of you from the UK since this happened in Boston. The perp is probably locked up in the hospital getting whatever was in their system cleared out, so he/she couldn't post here now anyways. They didn't tackle him/her on the motorway, just some side street. He or she will probably claim it wasn't even them and it was police brutality for knocking him/her down wrecking the scoot. The perp is really lucky someone wasn't on their phone... -Boom!
Maybe they were yelling FREEDOM when they were tackled.

I dunno. I'm still keeping one suspicious eye on Milly. You just never know what he's up to.  |

And, there's no fixing stupid.
