This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk.
AFrench policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking.
With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a Frenchman, and that he drank champagne and a few bottles of wine at the reception and had quite a few glasses of single malt there after. “And, besides all that, I’ve got a new bottle of scotch in the backseat I was just about to crack into.”
Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcotest (breath test) him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law why he has just been arrested.
The Englishman answers with a cackling laugh: “No, and I think you may need a drink! Do you know that this is a British car and that my tee-totaler wife is the driver… on the other side???”
