I found this outstanding piece of journalism on The Onion this morning. Now I don’t condone drunk driving but when you are in the zone you are in the zone.
STOUGHTON, WI—Alcoholic and car owner Jim Torkleson attributes his “best-ever” 11-mile, 0.14 blood-alcohol-content drunken drive home from Abley’s Bar Friday to being totally “in the zone.” “It was like everything was happening in slow motion, even though I must have been doing well over a hundred,” said Torkleson, who claimed that he has been driving drunk for more than 10 years, but only recently “really hit [his] stride.” “Some kind of sixth sense let me just slip past other cars, over raccoons, between kids on bikes, you name it. It was like the road and everyone on it just went away.” Torkleson said the cruise afforded him the greatest high while driving since the time a police officer forgot to put his cruiser in park after pulling Torkleson over.
