A man in Stung Treng province gave new meaning to the phrase “drinking like a fish” two days ago.

Authorities report that a military policeman was driving drunk when he lost control of his vehicle and went straight into a pond.

Instead of calling police, the dazed driver called his friends to take him to the hospital and retrieve his water-logged automobile.

Fortunately, the driver received only minor injuries and no one else was hurt.
