Maybe he couldn't hear the stop sign.

A man who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night, and of course, his car is weaving all over the road.

A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?"

"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.

"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."

"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.

The cop says, "Sir, do you realize that your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"

"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf!"
