From the State where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes a
true story from Mid NW, Wisconsin.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local Neighborhood
tavern. 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 vehicles, the man managed to find his 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 fine dry night) flicked the blinkers on, then off, honked the horn
and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few
inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more
minutes
as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the
parking lot
and started to drive slowly down the road.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now
started up the 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."
