DUI - KANSAS STYLE
Only a person in Kansas 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 Fredonia,KS
after last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently
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 Redneck. 'Tonight I'm the designated
decoy.
