Patty was driving home absolutely hammered. Suddenly he had to swerve to avoid a tree, then another & another. Eventually a Garda pulled him over & asked why he was driving like a lunatic. Patty explained all about the trees in the middle of the road. The Garda replied, “For feck’s sake Paddy, that’s your air freshener!”
