On the same note,
Designated Decoy
One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar and trip on the curb. Then he proceeded to fumble for his keys before trying to unlock a car, but the key would not work so he tried on the next car. The office watched as he did this on five different cars before he found his. The man then sat in the front seat and fumbled around with his keys for several minutes. The officer then watched as the man proceeded to roll down the driver's window, and roll it back up. He did this several times while the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to slowly pull away. By now the police officer was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the officer stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content. The office was astonished to see the results showing a reading of 0.0 so he re-administered the test with the same results. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be so the driver replied, “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”
