Houston Defensive Driving

[ No Comments ] Posted on 10.27.08 under General Texas Defensive Driving


A deputy police officer responded to a report of a loud disturbance in a neighborhood.  The “disturbance” turned out to be drunk and well over six feet tall weighing almost 300 pounds. The drunk boasted that he could whip all the deputies that could possibly show up, after he finished his beer.

Said the policeman, “I’ll bet that you’re also an escape artist-probably better than Houdini.”

The giant drunk nodded … yeah

“If I had some chains,” the deputy continued, “you could show us how strong you really are. But all I’ve got is a set of handcuffs. Why don’t you see just how quickly you can break out of them?”

Once in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes. “I can’t get out of these,” the giant growled.

“Are you sure?” the deputy asked. The fellow tried again. “Nope,” he replied. “I can’t do it.”

“In that case,” said the deputy, “you’re under arrest.”
