The English guy lives near Le Bugue in the Dordogne, France and at the time he was stopped he was blind-drunk.
The gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking, and with a slurring speech the English guy replies; "Yes, this morning I was at my (hic)...daughter's wedding and as I don't like church much I went to the cafe opposite and had several beers. Then during the wedding banquet I seem to remember downing three great bottles of wine; (hic)... a corbieres, a Minervois and (hic)... a Faugeres. Then to finish off during the celebrations... and (hic) during the evening ...me and my mate downed two bottles of Johnny Walker's black label."
Getting impatient the gendarme warns him; "Do you understand I'm a policeman and have stopped you for an alcohol test?"
The Englishman with a grin on his face replies; "Do you understand that I'm English, like my car, and that my wife is sitting in the other seat, at the wheel?"
