Sobriety Test


from Bridge Magazine, August 1937 yes 1937
(well it wouldn't happen today! would it?)

A man was arrested, accused of being drunk in charge of a motor-car, and brought to the police station. A doctor was sent for and he put the man through the usual tests, but could not decide as to whether he was sober or not.

Finally being a bit of a card 'fan,' he called for a pack of cards, and dealt out a Bridge hand, and requested the man to call. He called 'One Spade,' and on scrutinising his hand, the doctor decided that it was an excellent bid, and could not be bettered, so he came to the conculsion that the man was sober.

When the case came to court the evidence was tendered, and the magistrates dismissed the charge.
