I heard the following last night - it's in the category of `a friend of a normally reliable friend' and may be apocryphal, but what the hell... Following a really good party one night, the hosts decided to leave the assorted bottles and dregs until the next morning. As they staggered downstairs next day, they found their young children finishing off all that they could find, and looking the worse for wear. Not knowing what to do, the father suggested taking them out in the car for some fresh air. A traffic policeman, seeing the car going round and round the block for no reason, pulled him over and breathalysed him... and the meter showed positive. While matters were being sorted out, one of the children asked the policeman if he could try the breathalyser... and the meter again showed positive! "Damn!" said the policeman, "another faulty meter!"; he then apologised to the driver for stopping him, and drove off without another word... David Jenkins
