Popular Post geof_junk Posted March 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 Only an Aussie could pull this one off! A true story from the Mount Isa in Queensland. Recently a routine Police patrol car parked outside a local neighbourhood pub. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles. The man managed to find his 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 fine dry night). Then flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The Police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a random breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication. The Police officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station - this breathalyser equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy". Do you have a designated drive (not decoy) system in USA. 8 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the police that worried us too much back then it was our First Sergeant. He made it very clear what would happen if we got thrown in jail. He had this 4 foot by 4 foot hole 3 feet deep. Your punishment was to move that hole until he got tired of telling you where he wanted it this was after your regular duties plus whatever crap he had for you. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Prospector Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Wish I'd heard of this scheme while still in high school. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post klunker Posted March 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 Not far from here is an old town on the north fork of the Feather River with a fabulous history. One of the few residents there posted a sign "Welcome to Rich Bar. A quaint drinking town with a mining problem". I, being a very self disciplined prospector, only drink when I'm depressed because I found no gold or when I celebrate because I found gold. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
