Where are these great ideas when you need them?
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Kinston,
North Carolina. After the last call, the officer noticed a man leaving
the bar so apparently 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, in which he
tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his
car and fall into it. He sat 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 summer night,
flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn, and then
switched on the lights. He moved the
vehicle
forward a few inches,
reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as
some more of the other patrons' vehicles left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled
out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started
up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the
man over and administered a breathalyzer test
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man
had consumed any 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 truly proud Redneck. 'Tonight I'm the
designated decoy.'
