DUI Idaho style
-
Only a person in Idaho could think of this. From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside of a bar in Idaho. 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 -- it was a 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 his 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 Idahoian, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverbNormally you have a "designated driver" - a person who stays sober to drive their friends home. Obviously, there needs to be one designated driver per vehicle. A "designated decoy" is one person who stays sober (so more people can get drunk) that draws the police away from the drunk drivers.

Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverbA "Designated driver" is the person who doesn't drink in a party and has the responsibility of driving all the drunk people home at the end of the night. In this case he was a "Designated decoy" (decoy being something that distracts attention). In other words he distracted the police officer so that his presumably drunk friends could all drive away from the bar without being caught driving while drunk.

More than likely based on New Mexico habits, and written as Idaho to throw off Snopes. ;P There is a reason why New Mexico was #1 in alcohol related auto deaths per population, the good news is we are still #1 for hit and run pedestrians!
Junior: Frankenstein scores! Frankenstein scores at last! But what kind of a score, boys and girls? Just 80 points out a possible big 700. What do you think, Gracie? Grace Pander: Well, those doctors - dear friends of mine - have been pretty smug all these years setting up the old folks. Frankenstein must have decided it was their turn. Harold: Which only goes to show that even the fearsome Frankenstein has a one-hundred-percent, red-blooded American sense of humor, heh heh._________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
