What happens when a drunk driver crashes into a guard rail and then tries to hide from the police in a nativity scene? A lot of puns and dad jokes, that’s what happens.
Yes, Twitter users decided to have a little fun after a suspected drunk driver crashed into a metal barrier in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire and then ran and hid in a large shed that was housing a nativity scene, reports The Telegraph.
North Yorkshire Police tweeted a photo of the crash and mentioned his attempt to hide — along with the fact that he had been located and arrested:

All this is to say, if you’re going to drink and drive, be prepared to go to jail — and to be the butt of some pretty terrible jokes.
