Designated Texan

Only a Texan could think of this .... from the County where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Bandera, Texas.

After last call 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 car which he fell into. 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, then 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 patron vehicles left.

At last, the parking lot was empty, he pulled out of the parking lot 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, and promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having 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 Texan. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
 
Whereupon his car was subjected to a full inspection and the cops went over everything with a fine toothed comb...

Its a funny story... but I'M not volunteering to attract such attention, even when innocent.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif
 
I have a friend who used to work in a beer warehouse where they had a kind of trough for all the old spilled beer. It was a guy's last day and they dumped him into the trough for a joke. He got pulled over on the way home. Of course as he rolled down the window the smell of booze was over powered so he got a breathilizer at the car - came back clean, got hauled downtown for another - also clean. Cops tossed him out without giving him a ride back.
