I watch these reality shows -- and I mean the real ones with actual video clips, not the BS ones that are as real as Mickey Mouse -- and they invariably show cops pulling people over and giving them sobriety tests. Some of them are ridiculous, IMO. They either ask you to do things you are unaccustomed to doing, or to recite things in a manner in which we were not taught.
So I figured it would be interesting to pose this just as a simple pass time. Try taking one sober.
1. Extend your arms straight out to the side, close your eyes, and alternatingly touch the tip of your index finger to the tip of your nose five times.
2. Extend your leg of choice out straight, 6 inches above the ground and hold it for 30 seconds.
3. Walk a straight line heel to toe, turn and walk back heel to toe.
4. Count from 53 to 3 backwards.
5. recite the alphabet, without singing, beginning with the letter E and ending with U.
See how good you do.
For me, I'd have been demanding the breathalyzer. :laugh:
4 and 5 are out.
3. my feet aren't straight and I don't walk with them heel to toe. I can walk on the 2x4 railing around our deck, but that doesn't involve heels.
1. I passed
2. I was all over the place. Even practicing martial arts for YEARS doesn't get that one over.
