Drink Driver
Love those Queenslanders!!!
From the State where drink driving is considered a sport,
comes a true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
<O:p</O:p
Recently a routine police patrol was 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 carpark 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 inches, 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!
<O:p</O:p
Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me
to the Police station this breath-alyser equipment must be broken.
"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy".
True story.
