A woman called 9-1-1 to report a drunk driver: herself.

According to the released 911 tape, Mary Strey of Granton, Wisc., called the emergency number on Oct. 24 at about 11:20 p.m. and reported “Somebody’s really drunk driving down Granton Road.” The dispatcher tried to determine which way the reported driver was headed and asked Strey “Okay are you behind them, or…”

Strey responded, “No, I am them.”

The dispatcher verified, “You am them?”

“Yes, I am them,” replied Strey.

“Okay, so you want to call and report that you’re driving drunk?” confirmed the dispatcher.

“Yes,” Strey answered.

The dispatcher then directed Strey to stop driving and pull over.

I think this is exactly where MADD needs to take their anti-drunk driving campaign next.

P.S. “You am them?”  Is that how they speak in Wisconsin?

Hangover helpers from around the world

National Geographic lists ten cures for the common hangover.  None of them are especially appetizing (except maybe the Netherlands), and a few are just downright nasty.

Josh’s hangover cure…two McDonald’s hamburgers.  The hard part is finding someone to go get them for you.
