It's not how many times you fall down; it's about how many times you get back up.
But apparently field sobriety tests don't work like that.

Very similar to the boxing proverb, not word for word but an approximation "It's not about how hard you hit, it's about if someone hits you hard, can you still stand on your feet?", or something like that

That makes me think of the definition of a politician: A politician is a man who is so thick-skinned that he can stand upright even if he has no backbone.

Is there something you want to tell the group, Griff? Will you be going away for awhile?

reminds me of another joke
"I don't like to plan my day because then the word 'premeditated' gets thrown around the courtroom"
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

A variation of that is, "It's not how you start. It's how you finish."
The difficult we do right away...

True story: My 40th high school reunion was held this past Saturday. The local police department held an impromptu field sobriety checkpoint in town that night as well. Coincidence? I think not(*)!
(*) It wouldn't surprise me to find that my classmates have spent more on alcohol rehab than on their children's college educations.

Customer: That doesn't sound useful

And now you know why the pessimism consult is just that.

From video to video I hopped and found another gem. Veena Srivani - YouTube
I don't know if her real name is also Veena because the instrument she plays is a Veena.

I found this Youtube channel where the recreate popular music from popular Hollywood films using Indian music instruments. I liked it. See if you do: Tushar Lall - YouTube
I really liked the idea of using apple's siri to add to music.

I think that is a paradox.
Or does it require a pair of docs?

According to democrats, that's okay (and it's called "full term abortions" now.).
