>> THE BEST DRINKING STORY EVER
>> >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."
