原文+答案解析

039.
A man, who had drunk too much wine at a party and then was driving home, was stopped by the policemen. On being tested, the man couldn't walk a straight line, not to mention driving a car. So the police wrote out a ticket and was about to give it to him when another accident in the opposite lane got their attention.
Considering that the police weren't coming back to him, the man drove home and went to bed. He was awakened in the morning by a knock at the door, and in came three policemen.
"Are you Mr. Johnson?" they asked. He admitted he was.
"Were you pulled over at Main Street last night for driving under the influence?" Again, the man admitted that was him.
"Where is your car now?" the police asked. The man answered that it was in the garage.
"May we see the car?" asked the police. The man answered, "Sure." and opened the garage. Inside the garage was the police's car.
