>Only a person in North Carolina 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 Kinston,
>North Carolina . A fter 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."
