This actually happened to
an Englishman in France who was totally drunk.
A French policeman stops
the Englishman's car and asks if he has been
drinking.
With great difficulty,
the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his
daughter got married that morning, and that he drank champagne and a few
bottles of wine at the reception, and many single malts scotches
thereafter.
Quite upset, the
policeman proceeds to alcohol-test (breath test) the Englishman and
verifies that he is indeed totally sloshed.
He asks the Englishman if
he knows why, under French Law, he is going to be
arrested.
The Englishman answers
with a bit of humour,
"No sir, I do not! But
while we're asking questions, do you realize that this is a British car
and that my wife is driving . . . . . on the other
side?"
