If animals could talk?

One horse power truck

A Polish farmer is facing jail for being drunk in charge of both a horse and a lorry at the same time.



Leszek Stepien, 62, of Skwierzyna, used his farm horse to tow his broken down truck to the garage but had drunk so much he couldn't steer straight.

The impromptu carriage ground to a halt when the farmer managed to steer straight into the path of an oncoming car, sending the truck tumbling onto its side.

Stepien wasn't about to take the blame for the collision, however. Uninjured, he sprang from the cab and proceeded to berate the poor beast, yelling: "This is all your fault."

Police were less than amused by the bizarre scene that greeted them, and revealed that the foolish farmer faces dire consequences for his flash of inspiration.

"Luckily the horse wasn't injured but the owner is facing charges including animal cruelty and drink driving," said one officer, who revealed that Stepien had drunk enough to put him over twice the legal drink-driving limit.

If animals could talk?

They'd turn you in for being stupid, that's all....;)

THere was a guy a farm or 2 over from us when I lived in NC who had multi multiple DUIs, he even got a few while on horseback. He finaly figured out that if the reins werent in his hands he wasnt in controll of the horse. He would ride the horse to the bar, remove the reins and whewn he was done drinking he would tell the horse "Barn" and the horse would take him home.
