Well inebriated

A man was well inebriated, but he got behind the wheel of his car anyway and began to drive home.

Of course, he couldn't exactly drive straight or stay below the speed limit.

Two policemen pulled him over and demanded a sobriety test.

They asked him to walk a straight line, and he failed.

They began to take him with them, but suddenly they received a call on their walkie-talkies, asking them to go to another part of town.
They asked the man to be patient while they called someone else to cover for them.

But the man grew tired of waiting and, after a few minutes, drove home.
He got in bed and said to his wife, who had been waiting for him, "If any policemen come looking for me, tell them I'm not home yet."
The wife agreed, somewhat confused and a little embarrassed.

No sooner than her husband fell asleep did she hear a knock at the door.
Sure enough, it was the two policemen.

They asked about her husband, and she replied that he wasn't home.

Then they asked to check her garage.

Puzzled, she agreed.

She opened up the garage for them--and there sat the policemen's squad car, lights still flashing.
