One night, a police officer
was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible violations of the
driving-under-the -influence laws. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out
of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different cars before he
found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for
several
minutes.
Everyone left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started his engine and began to
pull away.
The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his
rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. To his astonishment, the results
showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be.
The driver replied, "Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."
