| DWI - Louisiana Style
I don't know if this is really a true story, but it sure is funny:
Only a person in Louisiana could think of this.
From the parish where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Houma, Louisiana. After last call 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 in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall in to 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 Cajun. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

I still laugh at that joke everytime I hear it. It's funny you say Louisiana. When I was stationed at Fort Polk back in the 80's, you could drive up to a liquor store and get a frozen margarita through a drive through window. As for cop busting DWIs, they would set up a check point at the town limit and pull over any car that had a base sticker. And, if you took the back road to the post, you'd be greeted by the MPs. It was cheaper to have the town police get you.
