A man was pulled over by a local police
officer because of his erratic driving. He was obviously drunk, and failed all
the tests – the Breathalyzer, the walk-the-straight-line, etc., and even
managed to trip and fall flat on his face. The officer sighed and said, “I’m
afraid I’m going to have to place you under arrest.”
But as soon as the words came out of
his mouth, a horrible accident took place on the other side of the road. The
officer ran across the street to investigate, and soon became preoccupied with
the messy accident. The drunken man, seeing that the officer was busy, figured
the officer had lost interest in him, and decided to just drive off. The next
day, however, the same officer arrived at the man’s house. Scared that the
officer was there to arrest him, the man pleaded, saying, “I promise not to do
it ever again, but please don’t arrest me, my wife will kill me.” The
officer smiled slightly. “I promise not to arrest you, if you’ll just take
me out to your garage.”
Confused but grateful, the man took the
officer to his garage. There, with the motor still running and the dome light
spinning and flashing, was the officer’s squad car.
