Getting busted for drunk driving is pretty dumb. But getting busted twice in one night? That’s like, epic dumbness right there. A 19-year-old in Winona, Minnesota (home of the Big Brown Beaver), was busted for drunk driving while delivering sandwiches for a local sandwich shop. The cops told him to get the hell home and not drive anymore–but later, they busted him again driving a different vehicle. This time they took his ass to jail.
Seriously man, getting busted the first time didn’t sober you up enough to make you think “hey, I better cool it, the fuzz is on to me!” Also, does anybody call the police “fuzz” anymore? Because I totally think they should. Where did that even come from, anyhow? I sort of get “pig” and “copper”, but I’m not sure I ever understood where “fuzz” came from.
But anyhow, once you get busted the first time, what on earth would possess you to switch cars and try again? I guess being 19 and male sort of lends itself to being incredibly arrogant and stupid, but even so, that takes some serious lapse in judgment. Although one time when I was 21 I got pulled over twice in one night for speeding. But never mind that. Forget I mentioned it.
I think the punishment for this should be several hard, paint-brush style slaps across the face while somebody yells “NO! DON’T BE DUMB!” That’ll learn him.
The etymology of “fuzz” is unclear. It came into use in the twenties in the criminal class (bootleggers, don’tcha know), and is reasonably suspected to have derived from the period insult “fuzzy,” which mainly meant “unmanly.”
You’re welcome.
Hi there :D Is it OK that I go a bit off topic? I’m trying to read your blog on my iPod Touch but it doesn’t display properly, any suggestions? Thank you for the help I hope! Marnie x :)
