A motorist is pulled over by the police who suspect he has been drinking.
They invite him to blow into the breathalyzer.
'Sorry, officer,' he says, 'I can't do that.'
He then produces his wallet and takes out a card on which is printed:
National Health Service. The bearer of this card is a registered asthmatic
Any attempt to blow could lead to an attack which may prove fatal
'Very good, sir,' says the policeman, 'If you would care to accompany us to the station then, we can take a blood sample.'
'Sorry officer,' says the driver, 'I can't do that for you either.'
'And why not?'
The driver extracts a different card from his wallet.
National Blood Transfusion Service. The bearer of this card is a registered haemophiliac
Any attempt to give blood may prove fatal
'Fair enough then,' says the copper impatiently, 'looks like it will have to be a urine sample. Please get into the van.'
A third card is produced. .
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. This man is a registered supporter
You are kindly requested not to take the **** out of him
