Two drunks wondered why their vehicle wouldn't start after they filled its tank with alcohol instead of petrol in Jinyang, Shanxi Province, last Saturday.

The two men were returning from a party when their car broke down on a highway. They had a bottleful of alcohol, which they emptied out in the petrol tank.

Minutes later when traffic police knocked on their window, one of the men said: "What what happened? We've tanked up the car but it still wouldn't start. Let's fill more gas."
