A Quote Concerning Influence

A man in Mobile, Alabama filled up his drink at a gas station and then spilled it. After cleaning it up he spilled a second and then a third. When he finally prepared to leave the store the clerk confronted him about paying for his drink and the man replied with a threat to shoot the clerk.

The prosecutor said of him,
“He clearly appeared to be under the influence of something other than good sense.”

I’ll have to use that line sometime.
