True story from Carrick-on-Suir Ireland.
Recently a routine Gardai patrol parked outside a local
Pub. Late in the evening the Garda noticed a man
leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the
Garda quietly observing.
After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five
vehicles, the man managed to find his 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 fine dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the
horn and then switched on the lights.
He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then
remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles
left.
At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly
down the road.
The Garda, 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 test.
To his amazement the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man
having consumed alcohol at all!
Dumbfounded, the Garda 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'.
