DUI - Cajun Style
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in
Lafayette
Louisiana . After last call, the officer noticed Boudreaux was leaving the
bar
so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk. He 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, Boudreaux 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, and promptly
pulled
Boudreaux over and administered a breathalyzer test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that
he 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 Cajun. 'Tonight I'm the
designated decoy.'
