STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Actor Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge in Sweden after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing a breathalyzer test — citing U.S. law — police said Wednesday.
Police officers spotted Murray early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled like alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.
"He refused to blow in the (breathalyzer) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press. "So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."

In NJ, if you refuse a breathalyzer, you automatically lose your license and you get to appear in court.

"He refused to blow in the (breathalyzer) instrument, citing American legislation," Now, Bill, think hard. What's wrong with citing American legislation in Sweden?

He should have told the officer they were filming Cadddyshack III.

Now, Bill, think hard. What's wrong with citing American legislation in Sweden?At least he didn't invoke Scottish Law, as did Arlen Specter.

Nothing’s wrong as long as your Senator Alan Specter. Scottish law in the U.S., U.S. law in Sweden, yada yada.

Beat to to it by a nanosecond and you got his name spelled correctly. I must have used an old Scottish version.

I think Yada, Yada as a prayer is evoked only on Festiva and in Queens.
