| 1 | * The lawnmower incident. With his keys confiscated by his wife, and determined to keep his buzz going, Jones hopped on his riding mower and rode to the liquor store.

| 3 | -->''"There, gleaming in the glow, was that ten-horsepower rotary engine under a seat. A key glistening in the ignition. I imagine the top speed for that old mower was five miles per hour. It might have taken an hour and a half or more for me to get to the liquor store, but get there I did.'' |
| 4 | ** When his wife took the keys even to the mower, George took a ''horse'' down to the bar. And got so hammered, he couldn't ride it back. |
| 5 | *** Becomes even funnier, as George Jones seemed to enjoy making fun of himself, as he parodied this incident for three different music videos. |
