One Tough Pressure

True Australian Ghost Story

Question

Australian Ghost Story

This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, and even though it

sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.

John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the side of

the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midst of

a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm

was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate

for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the

door, just to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine

wasn't on!

The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road and saw

a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.

Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and

turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched how the hand appeared

every time they came to a curve. John saw the lights of a pub down the road

so, gathering strength, jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of

breath, he rushed inside and asked for two shots of tequila.

He then started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went

through.

A silence enveloped everybody when they realized he was crying and....wasn't

drunk.

About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub. They

were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing John

Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other,

"Look, Bruce.. here's the idiot that got in the car while we were pushing

it."

LOL every time i hear that joke i always get a laugh, nice one, bye the way it's nice to see us ozzies get a mention.here's another one you might like From the state where drink driving is considered a sport, Dalby, SE Queensland, Australia, comes this true story. Recently, a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night) flicked the hazard indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.

At last, he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all! D

umbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station this breathalyser equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy."
