Only in West Virginia! (fingerprints, new home, to buy) - City-Data Forum

Since we have only been residents for a month and a half it is funny when my daughter will see something and tell me. My roots are all from WV so I have heard a lot of WV jokes and have made some myself. I thought I would start this thread to have some fun.

One that we heard a week or so ago and we were saying only in WV.

A drunk man on his riding lawn mower wouldn't stop for the cops so the cop got out of his cruiser and chased him on foot and pulled him off of his mower......Only in WV!

I believe that story...I think it happened last year. The guy had lost his DL and didn't have a 4-wheeler.
Reminds me of the story of Roger Miller..bought a new home and didn't cut his grass.. the city got after him and he decided to buy a riding mower.
Drove it home..4 or 5 miles along the highway and cut his grass just one time... left the mower sit in the front yard. (He went inside and wrote 'Dang Me') The grass grew up and the city got after him again. He said, "I can pay someone to cut my grass now."

Same thing happened last year in Preston County. Dude was pulled over on his riding lawn mower and given a DUI for driving down Route 7 drunk.

I was crussing the Virginia forum in spring...they were talking about this. In VA they give you a ticket & put points on your drivers licence! Now I keep wonder what if you dont have a licence? I have lived 32 years in WV & have never heard of such a thing...& I know lots of folks that would be in trouble if they did. In cluding farmers driving their john deers while drinking!!

I have a friend from McDowell Co who I see infrequently. I was reading the Police Blotter and saw his name. He had locked his mother out of the trailer he shares with her. She went to a pay phone and called the police.

They came and he was belligerant and noncooperative so they arrested him. He fought them when they put handcuffs on him and at the police station, curled his fingers so they couldn't get fingerprints.

They asked him what was his problem and he said "What do you expect from a man who's been drunk for a month?"

I was LMBO. Everytime I see him now, I ask him if he's had a Tshirt made with that quote on the back.
