The best beer drinking story ever told
From the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport, comes a
true story from Houston, 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."
