I'm running errands on December 31, trying to get to some shops to stock up before the New Year. As I am getting back on the freeway to go home, there are three police cars parked alongside the right hand of the entrance ramp. Two policemen are standing on the left hand side of the entrance ramp and wave me over to stop. I roll down the window as one of the policemen comes up to my car.
He says, :Hello, we are doing a drinking and driving check.
I say: Oh, Ok, what do you want me to do?
He says, Just tell me if you have been drinking.
I say, I don't drink.
He says, OK, you can go. Have a nice day and a good holiday.
Only in Canada are they so polite
