Morning y’all
A big shout out to motormaker for today’s sobering DJK
. . . . . Didja Know?
Note to self: Don’t go out for a night on the town and take pet parakeet

One man found that out when he was stopped at a routine alcohol checkpoint outside of Mexico City.
After he got out of his car to be tested the officers heard a voice saying ‘he’s drunk, he’s drunk’

Thinking there was someone else in the car they looked inside to discover it was the driver’s beloved pet
who had ratted him out. The bird turned out to be right, his master was in fact drunk, and he was hauled
off to the city’s ‘hangover prison’ where people found driving over the legal limit have to stay the night to
sober up. The bird was allowed to go with him, because Animal Surveillance Brigade officials were worried
the bird would die if separated from his owner.

That little rat-bird!!! It's funny but I bet the owner didn't appreciate that, especially since he had to spend the night in jail, with the bird no less. Wonder what the bird said while in jail....."he's stupid, he's stupid"??!!
