An Irishman who had a little to drink is driving home
from the city one night and, of course, his car is
weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over. “So,” says the cop to the driver,
“Where have you been?”
“Why, I’ve been to the pub of course,” slurs the drunk.
“Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you’ve had quite a few to
drink this evening.”
“I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile.
“Did you know,” says the cop, standing straight and folding his
arms across his chest, “that a few intersections back, your wife fell
out of your car?”
“Oh, thank heavens,” sighs the drunk. “For a minute there, I
