OT : A little Humour
Recently, during a routine patrol, an OPP Patrolman parked down the street outside the Legion Hall just off the main Street
in Coldwater, Ontario.
After last call, the Local OPP Officer observed a man leaving the Legion Hall. The gentleman was so intoxicated that he
could barely walk. He then 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 and then threw a hook and line out the window and seemed to be trying to catch a fish..
A number of other patrons paid no attention to this crazy drunk as they left the bar and drove off.
Finally the drunk 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 switched on the headlights.
He then pulled in the hook and line and 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 officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly
pulled the man over.
He performed a breathalyser test on the gentleman who cooperated fully, and to his amazement the breathalyser 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 Headquarters. This breathalyser equipment
must be broken."
"I doubt it," said the truly proud Legionnaire, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy." |
