Only a Canadian could think of this.... from the province where drunk
driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a Lethbridge, Alberta bar. After
last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he
could barely walk. The man stumbled around the street for a few minutes, with
the officer 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 blinkers on, then off,
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 more vehicles left. At last 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 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 Canadian,
"Tonight I'm the DESIGNATED DECOY."
