Here’s a couple of silly stories to celebrate the pivot point in the week, it’s all downhill from here…

A Polish motorist lost his licence after he drove to a police station to ask officers if he was too drunk to drive.

Dariusz Mazowiecki, 33, was breathalysed, arrested and charged following the incident in Bialystok in north east Poland.

A police spokesman said: "He had been out drinking with friends and at the end of the night wasn’t sure if he was over the limit or not and wanted to find a policeman to ask…

"Unfortunately he decided the nearest station was too far for him to walk and so he drove there.

"Officers did a breath test and found he was over the drink drive limit. He was arrested and was stripped of his licence."

And a Wisconsin man who caused damage at a waste water treatment plant in Eau Claire has decided to pick public humiliation over jail time to pay for his crime.

Eau Claire County Judge Paul Lenz gave Shane McQuillan an option after he was found guilty of criminal damage to property for ramming his car into a closed gate at the plant.

McQuillan could spent time in jail, or spend a day outside the plant holding a sign that says "I was stupid." McQuillan chose the sign sentence Wednesday.

The 22-year-old told an officer after the incident last March that he had been drinking and was "just being stupid."
