Man With Zebra, Parrot in Front Seat Charged With DUI

[bluesbassman]

Now see, when I'm out drinking with my parrot and zebra, I always make sure the zebra stays sober 'cause only an idiot would let a parrot drive. They can't reach the pedals. Besides, parrots are notorious for not being able to hold their liquor.

Reiter also disputes the drunk driving charge, saying he realized he was too drunk to drive, and was about to let a passenger his parrot take the wheel when he was arrested.

1. A parrot and a zebra walk into a bar....

Once again, truth is stranger than fiction. It always is.

2. Not this time.

"The striped animal and his fine feathered friend were there to keep their owner company, but weren’t allowed in the bar.

"Jerald Reiter, 55, told police the zebra and maccaw parrot enjoy going for rides in his truck, so he brought them to the bar, which he says usually allows animals inside, ABC affiliate KCRG-TV reports."

3. This thread is useless without pictures.

He should have let the parrot do the talking.
