Dumb Criminals

A Lawyer Who Can’t Pass a Bar

Situation: you’ve just been arrested for drunk driving. What’s the worst thing that could happen?
A. Your best friend could call you on your cell asking if you want to go to the bar for a couple of drinks.
B. You lose your AA chip
C. You’re force fed nothing but pretzels and are forced to watch football
D. Your lawyer gets arrested for the same thing on the way to pick you up from jail

MADISON, WIS. (AP) — Lawyer Rick Petri can really empathize with his client.

Police arrested the lawyer for drunken driving after he went to the station to pick up a client — who had been arrested for the same offence.

“I can’t tell you how humbled I am, how embarrassed I am,” said Petri, who once prosecuted drunken drivers.

He then added, “Now who’s a guy gotta boink to get a dry martini ’round here?”

The attorney said he had gone for a couple of drinks, went home to catch a quick 40 winks and the police station called him and told him to come pick his client up at the jail. The officer at the jail asked if the attorney had been drinking and the attorney said he didn’t think he was that drunk. The officer “objected.”

His exact quote is “I was wrong” making it the first time in history that an attorney has used the words “I,” “was” and “wrong” in the same sentence.
