The bar was closing for the night,
and the patrons were slowly leaving.
Just up the street was a State Trooper watching them as they left the bar.
Out the door stumbled one man. He approached a car. He tried the key. Then tripped over to another car.
He opened the door and climbed into the back seat. After a moment he opened the door and stumbled into the driver’s seat.
He turned on the lights. He turned off the lights. He turned the lights back on. He played with the keys, finally starting the car.
The trooper watched him closely. The parking lot was nearly empty by the time he finally got his car rolling down the street.
He started weaving and slowly driving toward town.
The trooper pulled him over and started his sobriety tests.
He passed. The breathalyzer recorded zero alcohol.
“What is going on here?” he asked the driver. “You appeared so drunk when you left the bar!”
“Oh,” said the man, “I am tonight’s designated decoy…”
