In my neighboring town, there is a small engine repair shop that often leaves riding lawn mowers out between repairs. During business hours, a local character (an achondroplastic dwarf who imbibes on occasion) got tanked up and took one of the lawn mowers on a joy ride around this town of about 4500 people. Eventually, the LEOs caught up with him and arrested him for stealing the mower. In fact, the business man stood up for him and just laughed about the whole thing. The little guy was drunk and so upset about the incident that he threatened suicide and was admitted to the local psychiatric unit where I saw him on call. Needless to say, I discharged the following morning when he sobered up.

Nice story, but do we really need to hear about your discharges?
