A routine police patrol was parked across the street from a
local neighborhood bar. At closing time, at 2 A.M, the
officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he
could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes with
the officer quietly watching. The man bumped into several parked
cars, almost fell on his face a few times, and tried his
keys on five different vehicles. Numerous other patrons got in their
cars and left as the officer continued to keep an eye on the drunk.
After almost 10 minutes, the man managed to find his own car
which he fell into.
He sat there for few minutes, not able to sit upright as a number of other
patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he started his car, switched the wipers on
and off (it was a dry night), flicked the hazard flasher on and off, tooted
the horn and finally switched on the lights.
He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and
then remained stationary for a few more minutes as more patrons left
the bar to go home. At last he was able to pull out of the parking lot and
started to turn onto the street, being the last car to leave the bar.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time,
started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights,
promptly pulled the man over and carried out a Breathalyzer test.
To his amazement the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man
had consumed any alcohol whatsoever.
Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to
accompany me to the police station. This Breathalyzer equipment
must be broken."
"Trust me, it's just fine," said the man. "Tonight I'm the designated
decoy".
