“I swear to drunk I’m not God” (joke)

“Ossifer, I swear to drunk I’m not God” is how a drunk might say, “Officer, I swear to God I’m not drunk.” The jocular speech pattern has been cited in print since at least 2002.

They think they’re actually saying:
“I swear to god I’m not drunk.”
Unforunately, they aren’t.

Saying it wrong on purpose
By GRANT BARRETT
(...)
This word often accompanies long joke sayings in which many of the words are jumbled, such as, “Ossifer, I swear to drunk I’m not God” – the kind of thing you might say to a cop if you were likkered up (inebriated) and couldn’t speak normally.
