Not sure if this is news, sports or sex related or all three?

Might belong in humor.

Charles Barkley's Oral Statements
Ex-NBA superstar told Arizona cops he was racing to get a "blow job"

DECEMBER 31--Following his arrest earlier today for drunk driving, Charles Barkley told Arizona cops that he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up a girl who had "given him a 'blow job' one week earlier," which the former NBA star described as "the best one he had ever had in his life." According to a Gilbert Police Department report, a copy of which you'll find here, police asked Barkley where he was going at the time of the 1:26 AM traffic stop in Scottsdale. "You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job," answered Barkley, who is pictured in the below mug shot. A cooperative Barkley also joked with a civilian police employee that, "I'll tattoo your name on my ass" if it would get him out of the DUI charge. Barkley, 45, was busted after failing field sobriety tests, and had blood drawn so investigators could establish his alcohol content. Barkley was cited for a misdemeanor charge and released at the scene, thus avoiding a trip to the Maricopa County jail. Barkley, now a basketball commentator on TNT, was elected to the NBA Hall of Fame in 2006. His 16-year career included an MVP award and a spot on the 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball squad, the so-called Dream Team that captured the gold medal. He has several prior arrests, including a 1997 aggravated battery bust and a 1991 assault collar. (3 pages)

Charles is a character. He'd say or do anything, if he thought it would help. Wouldn't you? I know I'd be talking and trying to get the police officer to notice I had my faculties, maybe let me slide.

Side note: Charles Barkley is a good man. When he was in Houston, we had a delivery driver, who was a nice person, but a bit on the mentally challenged side. Meant well, but couldn't grip certain concepts. Anyway this gentleman (our driver) was in his late 50's and was making a delivery at a gym. Barkley happened to be there and was leaving. Our driver asked him for an autograph. Barkley signed for this man of fifty plus even though he was leaving the facility and even though our driver asked Charles to sign one of our delivery receipts.

Long story, but both men had good hearts. I think Charles just hasn't grown up completely, but who has and when do you know?:wink:
