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 just a block
away.
The police tell the party animal to stay put, they'll 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 Smith 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. She opens the door. There sitting in the garage is the police
car, with all its lights still flashing.
