Street Sleeping

An arrest was made early this morning in Cleveland. A man arrested for sleeping in his car, parked on the side of the road, incredibly intoxicated. This apparently warrants arrest and DWI charges.

This makes me laugh as I think back to my high school days. A good friend of mine used to get himself a little too drunk. Since he always made irrational decisions, sober or drunk, I decided to take control at least of his drunken decisions. This was easy because he was not so secretly in love with me. I didn't have those return feelings, but I was going to take advantage of what I knew, only to keep him safe of course.

So, on especially bad nights for him, I would convince him it was best that I drive. Being as our homes were about 40 minutes apart from each other, I would drive to my house and take his keys inside with me. Being as I was brought up right, or so I believe, he was not allowed to come and sleep in the house, so I would park the car across the street and make him sleep in it. He loved me remember? He listened. In the morning I would sneak out and give him his keys.

I probably saved his life. I'm a hero. Throw me a party, please.
