I believe Timmons is home to Shania Twain.
“A city employee who was drunk and sipping vodka from a thermos while operating a backhoe has lost his job, his driver’s licence, and is going to jail for 30 days.”
I’m suddenly reminded of a Steve Martin bit where he gets behind the wheel of a steamroller while drunk.
OH-I thought a back hoe was something completely different.
I had a friend busted for a DUI while operating a Front End Loader on a busy two lane state highway. The State Patrol Officer had no sense of humor. I had to get the equipment and bail him out.
