Bandera, TX

[CKC1586]

I don't know if this is really true or not, but a funny story either way.


>>Only a Texan could think of this ... from the County where drunk
>>driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.
>>
>>Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Bandera, Texas.
>>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 inche! s, 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 Texan. "Tonight I'm the designated
>>decoy."
>>

This reminds me of my younger days. The town that I lived in had one dance hall. The city cops always patroled the main drag around closing time. We would all hang out in the parking lot trying to be the last one to leave so that by the time that we got there the cops were busy with someone else.

I've got his email joke several times and this is the first time I've seen it nailed down to Bandera. Now let me tell you there is a lot of drinking going on in Bandera but I doubt this exact situation really took place there due to the fact it's 'been around the block a few times'

Actually it took place in Kaplan, La. about 4 yrs. ago on New Years Eve.

Does it really matter where it happened at? It's a funny.

I love Bandera. I get a motel room close enough so's I can walk from the Silver Dollar, and all points in between. Hard to beat the great Amercian cowboy get together there every year. Best music you'll ever hear. Lots a dancing in the dirt too.

I've seen this before several years ago but it didn't specify that it happened in Bandera, TX.
