A police officer was about to get off duty and he wanted to make one more arrest. He remembered a busy little bar on the outskirts of town. He parked nearby and waited for the patrons to begin to leave. At closing time he saw a man stagger out and go to first one car and then another before finally finding his vehicle. He then fumbled with the lock for several seconds before finally getting in. The officer thought to himself, "I've got a good one here." The man plopped into the car and spent several minutes getting the key in the ignition and getting the car started and into gear. In the meantime, the rest of the bar's patrons exited the bar, got into their cars and headed home. Finally the man got his car started and as soon as it began to move the cop turned on his lights and stopped him. The officer walked up to him and said, "You're under arrest for drunk driving." The man said, "I'm not drunk, officer." The cop replied, "Don't tell me that. I saw you stagger out and spend 15 minutes trying to get your car started." The cop asked the man if he would take a breathalyzer test and the man agreed. Much to the officer's surprise, the test showed the man had not been drinking. The officer said, "This just doesn't make sense." "It's easily explained, officer," the man said, "You've heard of the designated driver. Tonight I was the designated decoy."
