Decoy Drunk

[Yarraone]

This was sent to me via email and I got a laugh. Thought I would share with you...

Only an Aussie could pull this one off!

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 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'.

True story...
