The policeman had the bar under surveillance a few minutes before closing time,
so he could see who comes out drunk. The first one out the door at 2:00 o’clock
weaved down the sidewalk, then fell on the curb. Sluggishly got up, then tried his keys
in five cars before finding his own car. Once inside his car, he fumbled with his keys
for 2 or 3 minutes. Meanwhile, all the club patrons had gotten into their cars and
driven away, leaving this one fellow quite alone in the parking lot. Finally, he got his
car started and began to very slowly drive away. Immediately, the police car was
behind him with lights flashing. The policeman asked the man to take a breathalyser
test, to which he readily agreed. When the reading was 0.0%, the policeman said,
“How can this be?” To which the man replied, “Because tonight, I’m the designated
decoy.”
