Drinking and Driving -- Designated Decoys

Something that came into the inbox...

Drinking & Driving... THIS is absolutely brilliant!

Only an Aussie could pull this one off!

A true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Recently a
routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern.
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 was

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 cm, reversed a little and then remained stationary

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's intoxication.

The police 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".

Celebrity Mug Shots

Mel Gibson in his classic mug shot. This shot was taken after a drunken evening that included a rant about Zionist conspiracies and other Jewish plots -- Drink Driving! (nice curl too!)

Nick Nolte in anothe classic mug shot. The fella looks like he has had a big night. Just looking at the wildness of the hair tells the story! Mug shot from 2002 -- Drink Driving!

For the classic "deer caught in the headlights" mug shot, one need go no further than this Hugh Grant shot! Look how sheepish he looks as he realizes that this shot is about to go around the world and everyone is about to find out just how flexible one needs to be in a BMW to get the "job" done! Mug shot is from 1995!

Lindsay Lohan -- Nuff said!

Drinking and Driving -- Shante Broadus (aka Mrs. Snoop Dog)

This is why you should make sure you do yourself up before you go out on the town! The wife of Calvin Broadus Jr (aka Snoop Dog), Shante Broadus, has been arrested for drink driving. The alleged offence occurred in Fullerton, California, at 12.15am on Saturday.

There is no issue as to whether celebrities or their spouses can drink. The issue though is that they should not think themselves above the law. Drinking and driving is stupid! You will eventually kill yourself or kill someone else! If you drink take a cab!

I would have thought that having three kids might have been incentive enough not to be quite so stupid as to drink and drive.

As I said, if you're going to do something stupid and it is going to end with a mug shot, then it is probably a wise decision you make sure you look your best before that mug shot finds its way onto the Internet and the news media of the world! Better still the police should have to provide a make-up room so that you can freshen up before the happy snappy is taken!
