“This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.”

Was the guy that said this new to the world, or has he had his eyes closed? I wish it were true, but it's just not.

My decision on this case will wait for further information on the quality of the beer.

Actually this happened in Alice Springs, nowhere near Darwin. Could have happened anywhere really.

i dont think a darwin award is given to those who reproduce and then kill it(or almost kill it)


on i side not i can almost hear the conversation with the officer that pulled him over.

driver: i gotta keep my beer safe.
officer: what about the boy?
driver: he isn't old enough for beer.

I think the best part is that there were other people either side of the beer that could have held it down quite easily. Reminds of this time i was driving behind this chick who had a double mattress sitting on top of her tiny hatchback, restrained only by her hand sticking out the window. Now thats unsafe.

They're 1,500+ km apart (That's 930 miles ).

I did some gigs in Alice Springs earlier this year and I must say, it is an incredibly beautiful place, BUT I'm not surprised by this story. Why would seat belts matter in a town where TV community service announcements try to convince locals that sleeping in the middle of the road is a bad idea. No Kidding. I though i was watching a send-up TV commercial at first, but it was the real deal.
