A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE IS ON ITS WAY

...to this multitasking motorist.

At least he wasn't talking on his damn cell phone.

That is a nice way to start my Canada Day celebrations!

(Um...with a FIRST! not by being drunk and masturbating in my SUV. Just to clarify.)


"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."

But it's how a lot of guys go through life - just sayin', Jeff....

Alert - non-humorous comment:

What a well written story. All my questions were answered, all the sentences were complete, and there was a logical order to it all. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you, Dave.

Oh, and ... multi-tasking motorist...lovely turn of phrase.

Thank the lord the moron doesn't have a smell-o-phone...

There's got to be some kind of hands free set for a guy like this.Would medicare cover that?

I can't go to jail

why not? then you'll won't have to play by yourself...

If only he were a congressman. They'd just tell the press he spilled coffee or something and we'd have nothing at which to laugh.

I'm confused. He was masterbating with his drunk cell phone while mounting a DVD player that was showing a porn film on his dashboard? I must have gotten that backwards. I guess I shouldn't try to operate my computer while driving.

The location where Griffin crashed is located a couple miles from the Target Center where Griffin had played with his team several hours earlier.

The rub on Griff is that he's never been a real team player.

Key questions are why Griffin wasn't tested for alcohol and why the officers drove him out of the city to his home in St. Paul. Griffin also received tickets for not having a license and inattentive driving.

The officers also received tickets for next season's T-Wolves home games.

When he was interviewed by reporters after the crash happened, he said he had dropped his cell phone as he drove.

Is that what they're calling it now, "dropping your cell phone"?

OMG Dave, this story is too good.

That would never happen to some T-wolves players!
YAY! for Mark!!!

"Masturbating himself" Isn't that the only way to do it? Otherwise it's a date/assault/foreplay? Talk about redundant!

Whose dumbass notion was it to mount video players for DRIVERS to see? Backseat ones, OK, but a driver who uses such things while driving is bucking for a Darwin Award!

If he's lucky, and this goes to trial, maybe he'll get the judge with the pump and they can swap tips on technique.

Sarah, Thanks for the link to Mad Dog's blog. Reading a few posts there, I found out that he went to my high school (a few years after). When he played for the Lakers, I would watch the ends of the games hoping he'd get in. His "and for those who speak Spanish" yell at the first victory party is still one of the funniest damned things I have ever heard. Thanks again!!!

I like Mark, really nice guy. HIs sister was a friend of mine, but we've since lost touch. I liked spending time at their parent's house in UT really great place, with a climbing wall in the basement- tons of fun!

I actually saw a guy doing something very similar, (I don't know if he was drunk or not but since he was honking and waving at my friend and I to make sure we saw him, I can say he was definately not in his right mind)and yeah Dave, this happened to us in Florida, how did you know?!?

Laura V - if a guy in Florida was driving and doing the other thing at the same time, that wouldn't leave a hand for his Smith & Wesson. Are you sure it was Florida?

Did he get called for "double dribbling"?

The location where Griffin crashed is located a couple miles from the Target Center where Griffin had played with his team several hours earlier.

so why was he playing with himslef if he had already played with his whole team?
