A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him
to let them take him home. He says NO -- he only lives a mile away.
About five blocks from the party, the police pull him over. They check his
license and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he
starts, the police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in a
house around the block. The police tell the party animal to stay put,
they'll be right back and they run around the corner to the robbery.
The guy waits and waits and fi nally decides to drive home. When he gets
there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might
come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day.
A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. Smith is
there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is
in bed with the flu and has been there all day.
The police still have his driver's license. They ask to see his car and she
asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage.
She opens the door. There sitting in the garage is the police car, with all
its lights still flashing.
True story; told by the driver at his first AA meeting.
