So, I came across this ridiculous article
about a guy (specifically, an expectant father) who freaked out when
his girlfriend went into labor. I am not sure what's more absurd -the
fact that this guy forgot that he didn't know how to drive or the fact
that it was considered newsworthy or the fact that I am writing about
it!

Computer checks revealed Casswell had no licence or insurance.
