Passing the Breathalyzer test

[Borg warner]

A routine police patrol car was driving past a bar at closing time.  The officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk and stopped tosee if the man would drive off.

 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 away.

 When the man finally started the car, he switched the wipers on and off even though it was a fine, dry summer night.  He then flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn, and at last 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, and 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 man.  "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
