How about a 'Crazy Grandma' story then? 
Published - Jul 01 2008 01:37PM EDT | AP
A convenience store became an unwilling drive-in when a 74-year-old woman plowed her car through the front window and then tried to buy a six-pack of Budweiser, police and the owner said.
Lynne Rice of Norwalk drove her 1988 Cadillac into Joe's Food Mart and Video on Sunday evening, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Jenny Ha said.
The car plowed about halfway through the store but nobody was injured. Rice got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser beer, said the store owner, who gave only his last name, Awada, to the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
I don't know how she managed to walk," Awada said, adding a cashier declined the sale and instead called police.
Rice was taken to a hospital for examination because she had a pre-existing medical condition, Ha said.
She was also arrested for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and released on $15,000 bail, authorities said.
Rice could not be reached for comment Tuesday. There was no telephone listing with her name in Norwalk.
Awada said the crash destroyed two 6-foot-wide glass panels. Damage was put at about $8,000.

so i was watching cops last night, and they were on a lake, and pull over a guy with like 6 girls on the boat.
he is drunk and blows a .209
so he gets arested and then the cops try to find a sober person to drive the boat.
some girls are blowing like .100 .09 then comes the best part...
this girl blows a .339 yes that is right a .339!!!!!!
then about an hour and half later they see the same girl driving the boat with no one on it! a .339 how was she not dead?!?!?!

Both of my cop neighbors said that they have better things to do than ride around looking for people to write up for this. There were already laws against "distracted driving" before this one was passed.

Heck, lately it seems every cop you see patrolling is on his cell phone. I don't appreciate paying their salaries while on a gab fest.
