Wouldn't you know.....

2:45 AM.

Pat got pulled over again. Right on the border of Pennsylvania. He gave the cop his PBA card, and the cop said he pulled him over for speeding, but asked him to get out of the car. The cop started asking Pat how he knew the officer on the card, questioned how long he had it for, yadda yadda. Then the magic words "Have you had anything to drink tonight?"

Pat said no. (*Homer* DOH!)

He had actually had a few beers over the course of the night.

As for me I had one drink, and 2 shots (kamikaze, washington apple) over the course of the night. But otherwise I mostly drank coka cola. I sat in the car shaking my head, thinking, "oh god, you idiot. we're in PA." I hear Pat mention to the cop, pointing to me in the car, "She drank coke all night as a matter of fact."

I was fuming because he just lied for me, and well, if the cop were to ask me personally, i would have told him I had a drink. Which would then make Pat look like more of a bad liar than he already did.

The cop gave Pat several chances to tell the truth. Then he takes out the breathilizer, and says "Well let's go ahead and see if you've been telling me the truth." He blew a .045. And then Pat tried to cover his ass by saying he had wine with dinner, and the cop goes "Well I asked you if you had anything to drink tonight" and Pat goes "I wasn't thinking about dinner time, I didn't have anything to drink tonight, but I mean, earlier in the evening I had wine"

Cop starts shaking his head and goes "That's not possible. That's not possible to blow a .045 at 2:45 in the morning if you had a glass of wine with dinner, man!"

He told Pat to get back into his car and wait there.

Cop came back with Pat's credentials and told him to drive safe, but took his PBA card of course. No ticket.

Lucky sumbish.

I've never been in a situation where someone I was with, nor myself, had to take a breathilizer.

In his case, do you think it would have been better for him to say he had a drink that night? I really thought he was screwed. I would have told the truth.
