Although Ga. is used here, it could be used anywhere!
Only a Georgian could think of this .. from the county where drunk driving
is considered a sport, comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Canon, Georgia

After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so 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 and trying his keys on five different vehicles,the man managed to
find his car which he fell into. 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, then 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 patron vehicles left.

At last, the parking lot empty, he pulled out of the parking lot and
started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer, having patiently
waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing
lights, and promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyzer
test. To his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man
having 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 Hillbilly . "Tonight I'm the designated
decoy

1. Canton, GA is just up the road from me.
And drunk driving is certainly not considered a sport in this state.

2. WØrd of the Day... "Kidding!!"
I'm pretty sure it's just a joke. I mean, look, us Texans don't get upset when they tell jokes about us being callous greedheads with delusions of grandeur, and Californians don't get upset when they tell jokes about them being bubble headed followers of the latest trends, and Minnesotans don't get upset when people tell jokes about them being drug-addicted compulsive child molester with progressive mental degeneration.

3. Hey, RebelOne...
Canton is about 35 miles south of where I was born and lived most of my life, Gilmer County (yes, true moonshine country!)
