A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. his friends plead
 with him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a mile
 away. About five blocks from the party the police pull him over for
 weaving and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as
 he starts, the  police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking
 place in a house just a block away. The police tell the party
 animal to stay put, they will be right back  - and they run down the
 street to the robbery.
    The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he
 gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone
 who might come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed
 all day.
    A few hours later the police knock on the door. The ask if Mr. X
 lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she
 replies that he is in bed with the flu and has been so all day. The
 police have his drivers license.
    They ask to see his car and she asks why. They insist on seeing
 his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they
 find: the police car, lights still flashing.  Apparently, he got
 into the wrong car when he drove home.
