The moral of this story is to never, ever plead guilty.

Surprisingly, alcohol was involved.

From the New York Daily News:

Proctor Police Department

Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 62, pled guilty to driving his tricked-out La-Z-Boy while drunk.

At least he was in a comfy chair.

A Minnesota man has pled guilty to driving while drunk. The only hitch - he was driving a La-Z-Boy.

According to the Duluth News Tribune, Dennis LeRoy Anderson departed from a bar in Proctor, a town in northern Minnesota, and started to drive his chair home one night in August 2008.

However, the 62-year-old crashed the La-Z-Boy into a parked car. He was not seriously injured, but police found that his blood alcohol level was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit.

Anderson admitted to drinking eight or nine beers, a criminal complaint stated.

As for the chair, which was powered by a lawnmower engine and tricked out with headlights, a stereo and a steering system, is going to be auctioned off by police at an undetermined date.

The Minnesota senior will serve two years probation.

As Rush Limbaugh has always noted, the best satire has an element of truth to it.

According to The Onion, "It's gonna require all of the President's diplomacy skills to make the fire see that putting itself out is what's best for both parties."
