Weve been known to squeeze content out of more than a few drunk driving fiascoes[17] and were never loathe to indulge in douchebag faces consequences for his douchebaggery[18] schadenfreude. So when a guy dressed up as a breathalyzer gets pulled over for drunk driving, obviously we get interested ...

. But it wasnt until we saw his picture that we actually became positively enamored with the story.

He has to have been driving home from a frat party. Thats the only place where that obnoxious below-the-waist Blow Here thing would pass as clever, right? Right?[19]

An Ohio man dressed as a Breathalyzer test for Halloween found himself blowing into one after police stopped him for allegedly driving the wrong way without headlights on a one-way street. Oxford police said they stopped 20-year-old James P. Miller on Halloween night and found beer in his front seat and in the trunk. Police said Miller blew 0.158 percent on a Breathalyzer test. The legal limit for driving is a blood-alcohol level of .08.

For those uninclined to do the multiplication, thats almost twice the legal limit. He was also carrying a fake ID, which presumably explains how he managed to purchase the open container he was nailed for having. Were not necessarily fans of very shrill anti-drunk driving campaigns. We worry that theyre sometimes covers for neo-prohibitionist campaigns (cf. fun, war on[20]). But driving while disabled is obviously out of bounds under any circumstances, and going the wrong way on a one-way street definitely crosses that line.

Plus he really does seem like he kind of had it coming.

He dislikes: people who talk on airplanes, people who are friendly in bars, people who strike up conversations at bus stops, people who stand too close in lines, people, people's children. He lives in downtown Los Angeles.
