Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a Lafayette Street tavern. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated
that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the street for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and
trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons
left the bar and drove off.
Finally the man started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night), flicked the blinkers on and off, 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
vehicles left. At last 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, promptly pulled the man over,
and carried out a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed 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."
