From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this absolutely true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Paris, Tennessee. 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 in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat 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 summer night--, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights.
He 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 patrons' vehicles left. At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now Started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer 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 truly proud Hillbilly. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

GOOD ONE !!!! should have tought of that earlier....
BUT.... in Belgium going to your car ( intention to drive ) is already enough for a breath-test.... if they should see such way of behaviour.
Brings back a great memory. Back in 1985 at the Chanticlear restaurant in Summit new Jersey, New years eve party. Summit is serious money, and this restaurant is the top of top end. For some unexplained reason I decided not to drink, except for a glass of champaign at midnite. I was the first one to leave the parking lot and immediately was pulled over. While I was on the side of the road every car in the lot left. Passed the sobriety test with flying colors and told the cop I had nothing to drink.Didn't even have to break out a PBA card or fraternal order of police card. The cop was beside himself. Having been the route, it takes hours for the whole routine to go down. This cop sat outside this restaurant waiting all nite for someone to leave. He got skunked. If any other car had been pulled over a DUI was for sure. Good story Joel
