The drive-thru window at Taco Bell has been the site of many a hilarious entry in this column; people here have done everything from fall asleep while attempting to order to getting arrested for DUI when they crash into it to try and carjack someone to many, many more. But I do think the following is the first-ever instance of someone trying to drive backwards through a drive-thru. And if you are going to try that joke, PLEASE don't do it while carrying pot on you–AND please don't do it if cops are nearby.
