I've bluffed my way out of a stop. When the cop asked if I had been drinking, I got indignant and angry. Told him I had a speech impediment. He apologized and let me go. Another time, when asked to do the alphabet, I leaned into my stutter... Hard. I stuttered harder than I ever had on every letter. Every question they asked I made sure I had full blown blocks. Walked away when I was most certainly over the limit. Turn your weakness into a strength
