Closing Time

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, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. 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 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."

Nobody in my old crowd wanted to be the designated driver so I doubt that we could find a designated decoy either.

Yes! That's the rest of the story Billy.

That reminds me of a joke... these two drunks were driving and drinking and they had pulled the labels of the beers and stuck them on their foreheads. The officer says have you been drinking? no officer we're on the patch...

Thanks for the invite YDG.

mcraven, I wonder if the cops bought it, they might have been laughing too hard to be very mad at them.
That's a good idea, a patch that keeps you just below the legal limit.
