Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so
intoxicated 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 come with me to the station, the equipment must be broken." "I doubt it", said the man, "tonight, I'm the designated decoy."
