Ha ha, that reminds me of the drunk soldier a few years ago who was arrested trying to CLIMB THE WHITE HOUSE FENCE! His buddies had convinced him to do it by telling him it was his army base.

I can understand the driver of the car being drunk and making a mistake, but what about the gate guards allowing them through? Can they plead ignorance?

For a bunch of fellas who do two and half years military service, mistaking a military base is a little bit over the top.

Mr Kim: What you say that is over there Mr Bak?
Mr Bak: Don't know. What say you and me hop the fence and go have a look see.
Mr Kim: I don't know. The barbed wire, guys with guns and the big ol' airplanes kinda remind me of something.
Mr Bak: You're being silly.
Mr Kim: You know the place we used to go to and people would yell at us.
Mr Bak: Hagwon. No... Not this place. I've seen hagwons and this is most definetely not a hagwon.
Mr Kim: Righto. Lead on.

Mercury- scale down the avatar please. If you don't know how to make it smaller, just send me a pm and I'll do it for you. It's kind of tough to read when you've gotta scroll so much.

Thanks.

Didn't some drunk fellow just meander into North Korea only a few short weeks ago?

Fisherman back home from North, blames the bottle
Mr. Hwang, a Sokcho resident, crossed the maritime border Wednesday despite warning shots from the Army Coast Guard. He said yesterday that he was under the influence when he made his impromptu journey, and said he was glad to be home.
