His Wife Lied To The Police Officers That
Her Husband was In Bed All Day.
But The Reality Is Hilarious.
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 the 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 will be right back and they 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 lives 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 their police
car, lights still flashing, This true story was told
by the driver at his first AA meeting, according
to the newspaper account. (D)
