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 Dixieland bar in
Bandera, Texas.
After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar appearing to
be 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 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, 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, promptly pulled the man over, and carried out a Breathalyzer.
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 must
be
broken."
"I doubt it," said the truly proud Texan. "Tonight I'm the designated
decoy."!
