Allegedly True
One night, at closing time. The first patron out of the door staggers to a nearby car
and tries
to unlock the door with his keys. Unable to open the door, he tries another car, again
with no
success. He then staggers across the parking lot to his own car, and sits down inside.
Meanwhile,
the other bar patrons file quietly to their cars. The first guy out starts waving and
singing and saying
goodnight to the other patrons. Finally, after all of the other patrons had left, he gets
in his car, starts
it up. Before he even gets the car in gear, the Policeman turns on his lights and pulls
beside him.
The officer says,' Get out of your car, I'm giving you a breathalyser test. 'The patron
agrees, and
blows into the testing device. The Officer checks the reading, and it is 0.0. The patron
then says that
he had not been drinking that evening. Confused, the officer asks him why he was
staggering through
out the parking lot, seemingly inebriated.
The patron explained simply, I'm the designated decoy.'
