It's probably been posted before, but big deal... it's worth another look.
From the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport,
comes a true story from Houston, Texas.
Recently, a routine police patrol was parked outside a local neighborhood
bar.
Late in the evening, 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 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 accompany me to the
Police Station. This Breathalyzer equipment must be broken." ...... "I
doubt it," said the man, "Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."

That is priceless
