This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk.
The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he drank champagne and a few bottles of wine at the reception and a quite few glasses of single malt thereafter.
Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcotest (breath test) him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law why he is going to be arrested.
The Englishman answers with humour: "No sir, I do not! But while we're asking questions, do you know that this is a British car and my wife is driving... on the other side !!"
And so it is my mother's birthday today. She would not want me to say how old - but she is doing well. Have to go and try to start her car for her - it has been standing a little too long and the battery has gone flat. May need to take it to London tomorrow. So probably we will celebrate her birthday a little later in the week.
Happy Birthday Mum !!

You just have to wonder "What's for 'Seconds'?" at that restaurant. Thanks for the memory of Bud and Lou.
ReplyDeleteThat was quite funny and the man was intelligent too. I think everyone is not as lucky as he is. My brother worked with a Los Angeles DUI lawyer for a year and saw so many DUI cases coming where they tried to make fool of cops and sheriff got better of them.
