Only a person in Louisiana could think of this. From the parish where drunk driving is considered a Sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine Police patrol parked outside a bar in Houma , Louisiana . After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the Bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few Minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After What seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys On five different vehicles, the man managed to find His car and fall in to it. He sat 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 summer Night--, flicked the blinkers on and off a Couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on The lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, Reversed a little and then remained still For a few more minutes as some more of the other Patrons''s vehicles left. At last, when his was the only car left in the parking Lot , he pulled out and drove slowly down the road. The police officer, having waited patiently all this Time, now started up his patrol car, put on the Flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over And administered a breathalyzer test. To his Amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that The man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to ask you To accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the truly proud Coonass. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy." |

Not new. My pledge class tried that in college (University of Kansas) ten years ago. It didn't work very well. |

The Lawrence PD are skilled "Hawk Hunters". . . I learned my lessons years ago at the YUK and stumbling down Kentucky. I sit in the Mass Street Deli or Buffalo Bob's, even these days, I have flash back. By the way....to fully appreciate how poor my navigational skills were, you have to understand I was attending Kansas State University at the time, not KU. KU, at that time like the 3rd wealthiest school in the nation, had some REAL cuties! |

Court, I don't know where it ranks now, but last time I rode to FreeState Brewery on Mass street, it was a site to see. Great place to do some "people watchin'" |

For a while it was outta control. I'm not sure where it came from but at one time KU was like a homing beacon for the well heeled, Miss America lookalikes with a crop of leased (doubtless by Daddy's JoCo company) 3-series BMW's flooding the city just before the semester. I recall hauling all my crap in the back of a Chevy Vega. KU, and Trinity in San Antonio, are the only places I've seen kids arrive at school with professional movers. If you recall Keif's Audio..the guy who owned it (who I bought my XR-1000 from) used to have parents bidding against each other to get moved to the front of the line to install high-end custom audio in kid's dorm rooms! One way or another, it's a gorgeous campus and Lawrence is a decidedly unusual microcosm We stayed at the Eldridge recently and an ol' pal of mine is a Federal Judge. We met her for dinner at Free State and my observation is the same as yours. My youngest is marrying a young lady he met at KU (they both live in Pasadena now) and she's doubtless one of the most beautiful gals I've ever seen. Funny thing is, she finished her undergrad and MBA with a 4.0. I told her "I thought it was a 2.0 scale!" I'm SURE I had a better time than her in college.

Court- Is he the one that was out at Thunder in the Mountains several years ago? I told my daughter that he was a pretty good looking kid, she just said "I'm not marrying a motorcyclist". She didn't either, he's a golfer. Kind of made me feel bad. |
