NEEDHAM, Mass. (AP) -- A Massachusetts man may wish he had breakfast in bed instead of in his car. Police said a man who was stopped for erratic driving on Central Avenue last week was eating a bowl of cereal and milk while he drove. He told officers he was hungry.

Lt. John Schlittler told The Boston Globe that the 48-year-old man, whose name was not released, was also driving with an expired license. The man has been cited for unlicensed operation, failure to stay in lanes and operating to endanger.

Schlittler didn't know what kind of cereal the driver was eating.

1. Lucky for him it must not have been Cheerios

That might have qualified as a DUI.

2. Of course, if he'd hit anyone, he'd be a cereal killer

6. A buddy of mine Totaled his car once that way

But if it had been corn flakes, he'd have had to do it four times.

7. Was it hemp cereal?

You know you should eat it with sugar and milk, and not smoke it in a bong
