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.

0 Rodney Iskandar 14 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 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."

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."
