I failed the one leg stand and 9 step walk and turn tests but did fine when asked to count backwards from 86 to 64 (except I forgot to stop at 64 and kept going to 38). The cop said I failed since I didn't stop at 64. At trial, during his closing argument in front of the jury, Joe counted backwards all the way from 86 to 38 -- 48 consecutive numbers--and then asked, "How many drunks do you think can do that perfectly at 1:30 AM with 3 cops standing a few feet away ?" It worked! Not guilty! |
