As long as We're Talking about Decoys...

From the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from Binghamton, NY.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a
local neighborhood bar on Clinton Street. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving
the bar so 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 and trying his keys on
five different vehicles, the man managed to find his
own 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 he started the car, switched the wipers on
and off (it was a dry night), flicked the hazard
flasher on and off, tooted the horn and then switched
on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few
inches, reversed a little and then remained stationary
for a few more minutes as more patrons left in their
vehicles.
At last he pulled out of the parking lot and started
to drive slowly down the street.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this
time,now started up his 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 my breathalyzer
equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy." :crackup:

Good one that's almost as good as the one about the 2 cousins fishing. A C.O. stood back at a distance watching through his binocs till he saw both men handling the rods.

When he approached the men one took off running as fast as he could for about 75 yards before ordered to stop. While said C.O. was checking his valid license his cousin who didn't have a license slipped away to freedom.

Of course this is told as a true story but you and I know that's not how it would end.

Tee Hee. That's my buddy.

I'm from Binghamton - Clinton Street at one time had the U.S. record for the # of bars on a single street. The "Clinton Street Run" used to be a right of passage. Start at the intersection of Front St and head West for as long as your legs held out or your buddies could drag you. Or so I'm told.
