Are you kidding?

Miles gets the backseat on the blog today. I came across these stories from the Mankato Free Press and felt they were worthy of a post. Actually, story #1 was going to be the lone topic of conversation on the O-town blog today until I came across story #2. How could I leave that one out? Honestly.

MANKATO — Either this kid’s lying or that girl gives one intoxicating smooch.

As Mankato police patrolled the Minnesota State University campus area for underage drinking, they came across 18-year-old James Carroll. After observing him, they administered a preliminary breath test. Carroll scored a .063.

Carroll’s excuse?

"I just made out with a drunk girl," he told police.
Romantic intentions aside, Carroll was cited for underage consumption.
(For comparison, the legal limit for driving a vehicle is .08.)

MANKATO — Under the category “creative uses of free time,” comes the story of 23-year-old man discovered near a Mankato restaurant Tuesday morning.

It was just about 5 a.m. when police received a call about a man exposing himself behind the Happy Chef restaurant in Mankato.

They arrived to find the man, in the buff, shivering. He told police he was waiting for the 7 p.m. bus.

He reportedly told police, “That’s why I’m doing what I’m doing. Just killing time.”



Are you kidding me?

I read the make-out story in the paper today and had the same reaction you did. Pretty dang funny. As for the second story, to whom was he exposing himself at that hour behind the Happy Chef? Seems fishy to me.
