Only an Aussie could pull this one off!

A true story from Mount Isa in Queensland.

 

 

Recently a routine Police patrol car parked outside a local

neighbourhood pub

 

.

Late in the evening the officer 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 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). Then

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 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 random breathalyser test.

To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's

intoxication?

 

 

The Police officer said 'I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the

Police station - this breathalyser equipment must be broken.

 

 

'I doubt it,' said the man; 'tonight I'm the designated decoy'

That “true” story is older than the internet

Agreed, I first saw a cartoon version of it in Bike magazine about 35 years ago.
