So this drunk guy in Scotland was bouncing on one of these — in an underpass, into oncoming traffic:
Mr Shankland said he stopped his car because a police car was blocking the lane and there was a “commotion”.
“As I pulled out past the police car I noticed there was a big red balloon on the road,” he said.
“It wasn’t until I passed and saw the two horns on top of it that I noticed it was a space hopper.
“I can only assume that the gentleman was space hoppering for some time because there is no path there.”
Mr Shankland said the man was being questioned by police when he saw him.
“You could tell from the sheepish look on his face that he knew he was doing something wrong but he did not know what it was,” he said.
“He looked very drunk to be honest.”
Mr Shankland added: “He was coming towards the oncoming cars, he wasn’t bouncing away from them, so it could have been a worse story to tell.”
My mom used to say that angels watched over small children and drunks. In this case, she had a point!
