DUI - WEST VIRGINIA  STYLE

Only a West Virginian could  think of this ... from the county where drunk driving is considered a  sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol  parked outside a bar in Ripley,  West Virginia. 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 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,  then 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  patron vehicles left. At last, the parking lot empty, he  pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road.  The police 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 breathalyzer test. To his amazement the breathalyzer 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 the police  station. This  breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it,"  said the truly proud Hillbilly. "Tonight I'm the designated  decoy."
