An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car’s floor, police said Tuesday.
It’s still early but this guy’s out of the running for father of the year. I will admit that I have restrained my beer before– but my child typically isn’t in the car when the beer run is made. Child car seats actually give your case of Mich Golden a nice snug fit.
According to the local constable, Wayne Burnett:
“I haven’t ever seen something like this before,” he said. “This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.”
If anyone has read In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson or watched Crocodile Dundee you’ve heard about Alice Springs, aka, the “Capital of the Outback”.
From Crocodile Dundee…
