Perhaps I am, but I’ll be sober tomorrow and you’ll still be a fool

Police constable: Sir, drunk and drive test. Please blow.

He held his hand few inches before his nose while I blew.

Police constable: Sir, you are drunk.

Surprised I looked at my friend seated beside me. I turned back to the constable and asked “What?”

Police constable: Sir, you are drunk.

I laughed out and said “No, I am not”.

Police constable: No sir, you are.

Me: OK, do you have a breath analyser?

Police constable: What?

Me: Breath analyser…

Police constable: No sir, blow again.

My friend said in a hushed voice “I guess he is asking you to blow him”.

We both chucked while the constable looked at us confused.

Me: Ok I’ll blow.

He bent forward and held his hand in the same position as before. I blew.

Police constable: Sir, I smell mint, why did you eat mint?

I understood the situation.

Me: Is that why you think am drunk?

He nodded — I explained him that we were returning from a nearby restaurant after dinner and showed him the bill. He stood unsatisfied. By the time the Inspector came and enquired what the issue was. I explained — he signalled us to go and asked the constable “Are you drunk?”
