From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a
true story from Carrick-on-Suir Ireland.

Recently a routine Gardai patrol parked outside a local
neighbourhood
tavern. Late in the evening the Garda 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
Garda 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 Garda, 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 Breathalyzer test.

To his amazement the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man
having consumed alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the Garda 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'.
