Only in Australia ...
  
  This is a story in a local paper.
  
  Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local pub.  Late in
  the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated
  that he could barely walk.  The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes,
  with the officer quietly observing.
  
  After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five 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 night) flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn
  and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few
  inches, reversed a little and then remained stationery for a few more minutes 
  as some more vehicles left.
  At last he pulled out of the car park 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, promptly pulled
  the man over and carried
  out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no
  evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!
  
  Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to
  the police station, this breathalyser equipment must be broken."
  
  "I doubt it", said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy."
