One night, a police officer was staking out
a particularly rowdy bar for possible violations of the driving-under-the-influence laws.
At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his
keys on five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat
fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
Everyone left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away.
The police officer was waiting for
him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer
test. To his astonishment, the results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled
officer demanded to know how that could be.
The driver replied,
"Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."
