From the state where drinking and driving is
considered a sport, comes a true story from Texas.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a
local neighborhood bar. Late in the evening 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
observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying
his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed
to find his own car which he fell into. He was there
for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left
the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car,
switched the wipers on and off (it was a dry night),
flicked the hazard flasher on and off, tooted the horn
and then 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 in their vehicles. At last he pulled out
of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down
the street. The police officer, having patiently
waited all this time, now 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 of
the man having consumed alcohol at all! Dumbfounded,
the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me
to the Police station. This breathalyzer equipment
must be broken." "I doubt it," said the man, "tonight
I'm the designated decoy.
