She looks like she may be acquainted with meth.

[Mr. Blond]

But she was riding a self-driving vehicle.

[Beowulf9]

Mine too ;)

[Vigilanteman]

Weird. Usually the horse drives in these cases. There are a lot of credible stories from the horse and buggy days about people getting lost in the fog, blizzards or just an unfamilar place and the horse gets them jome.

But what's the value of such stories compared to the need to write tickets and raise revenue?

[Vigilanteman]

For what it is worth, jome sits right next to home.

[MrEdd]

Nah.
too much body fat left in her face.
Meth makes them more sunken.

She looks like she just spends all her time outdoors and drinks too much.This ain’t her first Rum and Coke rodeo.

In California you can convicted for driving a bicycle or riding a horse while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I did not know that while I was riding my bike to and from bars at the beach.

She’s 53 years old but looks older.

[Mr Rogers]

Depends on how the state defines vehicle. Some states define it as including horses used for transportation (riding or driving). In states where you cannot get a DUI conviction, thinks like disorderly conduct, endangerment, etc can apply.

I was sooo hoping for “not guilty” but have just witnessed something that cannot be unseen.

[Beowulf9]

Just realized. This is going to be the biggest audience for those cars!

[AFreeBird]

A horse is a self driving conveyance. After a Fashion.

[Paleo Conservative]

GUILTY!

Once in college I rode a unicycle to a party at a friends house.

The party was raided by the police - lots of police (one of the roommates apparently was selling drugs...we did not know it) - I took off on my unicycle with a flashlight and one policeman said: ‘Get that guy!’

Another policeman said: ‘He on a unicycle! What do you want him for?’

It was so damn funny!

[LouAvul]

Actually, she looks like a tweaker.

[LouAvul]

I hated it. And when I got old enough to learn what kind of person Jane Fonda is, I really hated it.

[ConjunctionJunction]

1 for the horse, 2 for the rider

Also known as Donna No Teeth?

Charge her with animal cruelty. She was putting the horse in danger.

[Albion Wilde]

I hated it. And when I got old enough to learn what kind of person Jane Fonda is, I really hated it.

I can see that I fully understand how you would feel that way. My husband went to VN and I find her repulsive.

As for the film, I saw it about 7 years before her notorious Hanoi visit; I was very young, and being a female, at this point I don't even remember her being in it. Just how funny Lee Marvin was.

[little jeremiah]

Very few teeth, too.
