Wisconsin man blames beer-battered fish during drunken driving stop
Chicago Tribune ^ | December 10, 2014

A Wisconsin man told a sheriff's deputy he had not been drinking, but rather eating beer-battered fish when he was pulled over for what could be his 10th drunken driving offense, according to an incident report released on Wednesday.

John Przybyla, 73, was stopped for a broken tail light and erratic driving on Oct. 12 by a deputy who then smelled alcohol on his breath and saw that his eyes were blood shot.

The deputy asked Przybyla how much he had had to drink. Przybyla replied that he had not been drinking and instead had eaten beer-battered fish at a fish fry, the report said.

Przybyla was arrested after he failed a field sobriety test and a breath test showed he had been drinking.

Some people can be ‘as sober as a judge’ and because of their natural expression when the face is relaxed, they still look stoned or outraged.
For all we know, he could be ‘smiling’.

Pretty poor defense, and must have a hell of good paying job to afford 9-10 priors, unless he was a Lawyer or Public Servant.

Guys like this are incorrigible. They haven't had a license in decades but they still have their car keys and that's all that matters. Maybe they go to court. Doubtful they pay their fines, attend alcohol classes or community service. They may serve a month or two here and there behind bars but they don't truly get locked up until they kill someone.

It was April the 41st, being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was
overheating
So I pulled into a Shell station
They said I’d blown a seal
I said, “Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay
pal?”

Give a Man a Fish and he’ll get a DUI.

Teach him how to Fish and he’ll open up a Bar.

You’re suppose to be eating the fish dipped in beer-batter, not swimming in it.

I am guessing he used the fish as a tea bag.
Dip fish in beer then drink beer.

My experience is things get a lot less funny after the fourth one.

How many fish did he have to eat to register on the drunkometer.

I took to drinking O’Douls, finally stopped that but I had always figured I would run through a kidney before enough O’Douls could be ingested to get a DUI......

Kind of like the guy who was pulled over for suspected DUI. Cop noted a smell of wine and saw a bottle so he asked if the guy had been drinking. The guy responded he was only sipping at the water in the bottle. The cop asked for, and received the bottle. He took a whiff and exclaimed, “This isn’t water, it’s wine!”. The guy replied, “Praise the Lord, He’s done it again!”
