DWI in a La-Z-Boy?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Second Self Virtual Assistance

You can get a DWI in anything with a motor, including a La-Z-Boy.Apparently, you can get a DWI while operating ANYTHING with a motor.  A Minnesota man was arrested after plowing his motorized La-Z-Boy into a parked car.  His blood alcohol level was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit.  This motorized bad boy was tricked out with a stereo and cup holders.  Who says Minnesota doesn't know how to party!

Funny - I've never heard of a motorized La-z Boy before. I've heard of getting a DUI on a lawn mower, But never a chair. At least he couldn't do much damage to other motorists!

Someone should have taken his recliner arm before he hit the road.

Heather,  I thought you were kidding at first; but apparently not!!  We may not want to get the word out that you can actually buy a motorized La-Z-Boy!!  What next??

It's funny because nobody actually got hurt, right Debra?  I can't imagine seeing a La-Z-Boy riding out of control down the street.  I'd think I was drunk!

I'm just wondering how they would do that, Dan.  Hmm... That brings another funny image to mind.

I'm not sure you can purchase a motorized recliner, Yvonne and Dennis.  This was actually a lawnmower engine attached to the La-Z-Boy.

It was gas powered, Mike.  If only he could use his powers for good.

You know I heard the tail end of this on the funny news this morning but didn't catch the best part -  a lazyboy.  Now isn't the time to say I grew up in Mn...now is it.  Crazy stuff!

Heather I think this could have been a lethal weapon, he could have plowed into someone instead of just a parked car.
