At Least He Put the Seat Down After

San Antonio - A Texas man was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after he plowed his sport utility vehicle into a San Antonio house and then asking the homeowner if he could use the bathroom, police and a TV news report said on Tuesday.

John Rose, 59, has been charged with driving while intoxicated, police said. A lawyer was not listed on his arrest record.

The homeowner, George Vasquez, told local broadcaster KSAT that he was watching television on Monday night when the SUV rammed into his home.

"I was watching the news ... sounds like an explosion at first, a couple seconds after that ... and here comes a car right through my living room," Vasquez told the TV station.

Vasquez asked the driver if he was all right, and Rose then asked if he could use his restroom, the station reported.

Most people are going to read this story and think Josh Rose was entirely in the wrong for asking to use the bathroom of the man whose home he destroyed but, as usual, allow me to play Devil’s Advocate. 

George Vasquez’ home has already demolished. Forcing Mr. Rose to piss his pants or whip it out in the yard is only going to exacerbate the problem. In fact, it could lead to public indecency charges and expose the Vasquez family to some sort of flashing type incident. 

If Rose was already in the house when he exited the car, he may have even micturated on the Vasquez’ flooring or furniture. Asking to use the bathroom was probably the first sensible decision Rose made all day.
