> The man

> 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.
