Thread: Only an Aussie could pull this off!

Father-in-law (ex-copper) sent me this.


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 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 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 cm, reversed a little and then remained
stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.
At last he pulled out of the 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-alyser equipment must be
broken".

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

True story...
