    Drink Driving

    From the state where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true story
    from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Recently a routine police patrol parked
    outside a local neighbourhood 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 car park 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, then off, tooted the horn
    and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few cm,
    reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as
    some more vehicles left. 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 breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser 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 breathalyser equipment must be broken."

    "I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy".

    If you said that to a cop in my town they would shoot you. We have very bored trigger happy cops.
