Could this be true Newt?

From the State where drinking and driving is considered a sport, comes a

true story from Texas:

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood bar.

Late in the evening 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 and trying his keys on five different

vehicles, the man managed to find his

own 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 dry

night),

flicked the hazard flasher on and 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 more patrons

left in their vehicles.

At last he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down

the street. The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now

started up his 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 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, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

 

Now I dont condone drink driving but a great story never the less!

Texas hmmmmmm. Yup. I can believe it.

 

Texas is also the state where the words you will hear from a driver who has just put his vehicle into a ditch at 70mph to his passanger are not "Oh Sh*t" as you would expect but rather "Let me show you how this sucker handles off road. Yeeee Haaaa!!!".
