Man Rams Burger King With Car - Backs Up & Parks - Goes In To Eat
<snip>

WAUSAU, Wis. --A man whose car ran into the front entry of a fast-food restaurant backed away, parked and went in for breakfast, officials say.

Police Patrol Inspector Bryan Hilts said 78-year-old Rouland Steppert's car struck the glass entryway of the downtown Burger King Friday.

After he backed up, parked and went inside, he was served his food, and police called to the scene found him eating at a table.

General manager Kathy Fasse declined to say what he ordered.

By lunchtime, glass and other debris had been cleared away and customers were able to use the normal entry.

Because the accident was on private property, the man was not cited, Hilt said.

No phone listing could be found for Steppert when The Associated Press tried to reach him for comment Monday night.

1. Gotta wonder what the AP reporter's first question would've been
"Are you fucking inSANE??" comes to mind.

2. Mine would be "are you senile?". He is 78 years old.

4. Makes me wonder if he even knew what he had done
and whether he should be allowed to drive any more.

5. Was he aiming for this guy?
If so, there isn't a jury in the world that would convict him.

7. Hmm... Forgot he was in a car.
Hey, it happens.

Ol' guy must've been hungry.

*THAT* is a man who knows what he wants and where to
get it!

I'd think he'd make a fine President. (We've done worse.)
