Drinking Decoy

Recently, a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car 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 car, which he fell into. He sat there for several minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started the car, switched the wipers on (it was a perfectly dry night), flicked the indicators on, then 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 some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out 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 breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!! Dumfounded, 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 man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy."

Marriage Seminar

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife, Grace, listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes." He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently, and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?"
