Default A little story from Oz

[color=darkblue:2d633c3507]As usual, it's being claimed that this is a true story. As usual, make your own mind up.[/color:2d633c3507]

From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true
story from the Sunshine Coast,Queensland:

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern. 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 many 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 indicators on,then 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 some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of 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 breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser 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 breath-analyser equipment must be broken.

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

A true story from Australia...

If it isn't true, it sure could work. I don't know whether to think "Good on 'em!" or "OMG!".
