Brilliant!

Look closely at the picture first and then read the story:

    

 

 

This actually happened to an Englishman, visiting France, who was totally drunk. Hammered. Three sheets to the veritable wind. Et cetera...

 

A French policeman stops the Englishman's car and asks if he has been drinking.

 

With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married that morning, and that he drank champagne and a few bottles of wine at the reception. Not to mention many single malt scotches thereafter.

 

Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to breath test the Englishman and verifies that he is indeed completely hammered.

 

He asks the Englishman if he knows why, under French law, he is going to be arrested.

The Englishman answers with that famous British straight face, "No sir, I do not. But while we're asking questions, do you realize that this is a British car, and that my wife is driving on the other side?"
