A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with
him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a mile away.

About five blocks from party, the police pull him over for weaving and ask
him
to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he starts, the police
radio blares
out a notice of a robbery taking place in a house block away. The police
tell the
party animal to stay put, they will be right back and they hop a fence and
run
down the street to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets
there,
he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come
looking
for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X is there
and his
wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with
the flu
and has been so all day. The police have his driver's license. They ask to
see his
car and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to
the
garage and opens the door where they find the police car, lights still
flashing.

True story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting.
