So a drunk walks into a cop shop...

[Locutus]

twice mind you, and asks for casino chips. That's right.


An Oregon man pressed his luck one too many times and spent the night in a Nebraska detox cell after twice mistaking a police station for a casino and asking authorities for blackjack chips.
The Lincoln Journal Star (Man taken to detox after thinking police station was casino) reports the 21-year-old man approached the University of Nebraska-Lincoln police station front desk after a college football game Saturday night. He left after a staffer told him it was a police station but returned a few minutes later.
That's when an officer administered a blood alcohol test, which registered at .273 percent — more than triple the state's legal driving limit.
Police took him into protective custody while he sobered up. A police sergeant said the man had not committed a crime and was not arrested.

Desperate people do desperate things when the chips are down.

:smile:Good on the cops.

The guy must have been really plastered, even to do it once.

The entire exercise was a tad degenerate Vegas Strip/Terminator-esque.

Ah'll be baccarat.




Or, if you prefer a gambling-free experience:


I be Bacharach.

Exactly. Better to have him sleep it off there rather than risk him hurting himself while walking around. Being that drunk who knows what could have happened to him?
