>From Wisconsin, the State where drinking and driving is considered a
sport,comes a true story (maybe).
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 indicators 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
car park 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."
