Not naming any names; I'm just glad it was Jeffersonville and not Lafayette.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — A southern Indiana lawyer says he's embarrassed and has apologized for being found asleep headfirst in neighbor's trash can after a night of drinking.

No charges have been filed against Larry Wilder, who is the Jeffersonville City Council's attorney. The council president says she'll call a special meeting next week to discuss Wilder's status with the city.

Wilder says he was with friends for dinner and drinks in nearby Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday night but was driven home in a client's limousine and remembers little of what happened after that. A neighbor found Wilder in the trash can early Wednesday and called police, who helped Wilder home.

Jeffersonville Police Chief Tim Deeringer says no crime was committed and that Wilder was cooperative and not a threat to anyone.

Really brings new meaning to "White Trash", huh?

Good thing it wasn't San Francisco. He'd be fined for not composting.

At first I expected him to be dead... not often you find a lawyer in the garbage still alive.

If not for the drunkeness, I'd almost think that somebody forgot to finish the job.

OK, which movie? I remember that the exact line was "white boy," and it seems like Ernie Hudson might have said it, but - which movie? Is it that one where Emilio Estivez and Martin Sheen are sanitation workers?

Men at Work and Charlie Sheen

Only when we're dumpster diving for AR uppers and ammo.

Dualing IMDBs: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088794/quotes

IMDB also attributes the line to a character from Better Off Dead. Since I've never seen it, the Men At Work theory sounds better to me.

Also, I have just discovered that all this time I thought Keith David was Ernie Hudson.

You know sometimes the phone just won't stopped ringing and the mail and the calendar, it just won't stop.

Sometimes you just want to crawl into a nice safe, dark den and be alone. Why not the neighbor's trash can? It's the only safe place you have left sometimes.

*Aside: Yes, Lafayette lawyers are noted for being arrested. We've had a judge (OWI), several attorneys (OWIs, Resisting law enforcement, etc.), attorneys arrested for breaking someone's jaw in a bar at 2:00AM all withing the past few years.

Only trouble I've been in is for driving. I got busted for 62 in a 50 in Indianapolis in August of 2007 but beat the ticket.

That's a 3rd degree actor indentity infraction.
I hereby sentence you to watch Ghostbusters and The Crow (Ernie Hudson) followed by Dead Presidents and The Thing (Keith David).

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:35:17 AM »

No, with Keith David it's all about the Riddick.

But I won't quibble about the actor identification infraction. It's better than the dreaded "So we all look alike to you, huh?"

At least he didn't confuse Keith David with David Keith. Something I have done from time to time. I have to stop and think who is who.

What was the ticket for, impeding traffic?
I lived in Indy from 6/80-8/81,if you weren't doing 10 over you were about to get ran over.
The worst was in the spring of 81 when the State police went on a ticket writing strike.There didn't seem to be a speed limit!

As do I. I always remember that movie, as it's my favorite Kim Darby movie, after True Grit.

IMDB, while a great resource for movie info, is comprised of user input so is subject to the occasional misquote whereas, on the other hand, I am not.

I want my two dollars!

He's lucky the neighborhood raccoons were elsewhere.

This is the kind of story where the punch line should be "It's a good start".....

And now they have to sanitize....the trashcan!
