Designated Driver


Recommended Posts

Recently a routine RCMP patrol parked outside a bar just off the Main

Highway at Goobies, Newfoundland. After last call the officer noticed a Man

leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer

quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his

keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he

fell into.

He sat there for a few minutes and then threw a hook and line out the window

and seemed to be trying to catch a fish. A number of other patrons failed to

observe this crazy drunk as they left the bar and drove off.

Finally the drunk started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a

fine, dry summer night) flicked the blinkers on then off a couple of times,

honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He pulled in the hook and

line and moved the vehicle forward a few Inches, reversed a Little and then

remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patron

vehicles left.

At last, the parking lot was empty. He pulled out of the parking lot and

started to drive slowly down the road.

The officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the

patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and

carried out a breathalyser test.

To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man having

consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to

ask you to accompany me to Head quarters because this Breathalyser

Equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the truly proud Newfoundlander. Tonight I'm the

designated decoy."
