KAWDUP said:DUI - MICHIGAN STYLE
(Only a person in da UPPER OF MICHIGAN could think of this)
From a region (da UPPER) where drunk driving is considered a sport,
comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Engadine,
Michigan. After 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--they worked 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 he 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 Yooper.
'Tonight I'm the designated Decoy.'
This trick was actually used in Traverse City by my older brother's crew where one guy would leave out the front and noticably stumble and get to his car out front. The bar - U&I Lounge also has a back door and everybody else would head out the back. At least I was told they did this ...maybe it's an urban legend.
