Life imitating art?
If you watched the NBC series The Office this week, you probably saw the scene in which regional manager Michael Scott drives a rental car into a lake because he's following the directions from the car's navigation system a little bit too closely. (By the way, if you missed this episode, you can watch it online for free here.
As coincidence would have it, a Georgia man who had a bit too much to drink crashed at an intersection in Rockdale Township and ended up putting his car in a pond early Thursday morning. The Times-News Crawford County beat reporter, Tim Hahn, gives all the hilarious details in this article. (Okay, so drunk driving isn't ever hilarious, but no one was hurt in this accident, as long as you don't consider a 2005 Toyota Corolla to be an animate object.) When emergency responders arrived, the man had already fled the scene and left his submerged car behind. Hahn pithily notes that: "The car was empty, but a shoe was found inside, police said." A paramedic responding to the scene spotted the driver walking along Route 6 (and, yes, he was wearing only one shoe while making this trek).
I don't really think there's any more commentary needed on this situation. It speaks for itself.

That guy might have been listed as a Ga man, but his last name has ties to Union City. You cant keep Union City down, its always going to be in the news for ignoble feats and less than normal people.We have a long storied history of doing the uncanny and weird
You can take a man out of Union City (or Cambridge Springs for that matter), but you can't take the Union City (or C.S.) out of a man, apparently.
You might not be able to take Union City or Cambridge out of the man, but give him a 6 pack and the keys to his 1979 Gremlin and you can take him out of a pond.
