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 party, the police pull him over for
weaving 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 just a
block away. The police tell the party animal to stay
put, they will be right back and they hop a fence and
run down the street to the robbery. The guy waits and
waits and finally 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. X lives 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 so all day. The police 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 and opens the door and there sits their
police car, lights still flashing.
True story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting
