Black BMW with Polish signs

It's been a while since I've been posting anything now. I still have no screen for my stationary PC and is stuck on this lap top, which is okay, but far from good. I hope to get my screen back next week, but I won't keep my expectations too high, as I belive it will take 1 month to fix it this time as well... Stupid Siba people.:o((

Anyway, I want to share a story which I find a bit funny.:o)
It was Saturday night and my friend had his brother over. His brother lives far away from my friends', and also in the middle of nowhere. Out there in the middle of nowhere they are pretty used to drinking, also home made stuff of the poor kind.;o) My friend ( I call him Michael to keep any info about him out of the web ) and his brother André both had a great time, drinking and talking the hours away. Then in the middle of the night, around 3am they ran out of mixing water for the spirit! He lives in an area with a gas station, and he has about 12 min by foot there. But no, they decided to DRIVE. 12 min are a long time to walk when you are drunk, and it seemed sooo much wiser to drive while drunk.
In Norway we have 0,2 as the limit for being alowed to drive a car, so you cannot have one glass of wine, or a glass of beer for that matter. Drunk drivers are not taken lightly here, and we are blessed with fewer than we may have had without the strict laws.
On the way to the gas station they are suddenly aware of a police car at their tail... Micheal consentrate all he can to drive as normally as possible, considering how much he'd to drink. But the police car follow them all the way to the gas station! Micheal stops the car, but none of them dear leave the car! That seemed a little odd I belive, but the police stops behind them and walks up to their car. Now they have a huge problem, as it probably stinks of alcohol in the vehicle. Micheal knows that they will withdraw his drivers lincence and he is totally in need of it, as he works as a delivery man. What to do?
The police officer knocks on the window and Michael lets the window down 3", trying very hard not to breath in the officers face...
- Have you seen a black BMW with Polish signs around?
- ....
- ....
- A-a black BMW you say? With Polish signs? André shoots in to break the awkward silence. No, can't say we have...
- Okay, the officer says, looking around from where he stood. You have a nice night gentlemen.
Then he walks away.
The boys bought their mixing stuff and hurried home. That was too close for comfort, and I don't think he'll be driving drunk to get mixing water anytime soon. ;o)

I miss your posts, so I keep my fingers crossed for you to fix your computer issue as soon as possible. The story was fun in deed. I hope that was enough to kill their courage to drive in a drunken state. :D

I also miss your posts. That was not very wise of them to drive drunk. Oh my, lucky for them they weren't caught.

I know they both learnt a lesson there. None of them have been driving drunk after that.:o) It was too close for their comfort, and I think they figured out that they have used their karma once. So no next time for these guys.;o)
I will try to update more often. I am flattered by both of you, missing my posts.:o) It means a lot to me.
