Drunks
A policeman in a patrol car was parked outside a bar watching the
patrons leave.
About the time of 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, as he tried 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 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 man.
