Not too clever

A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to one to six months in jail for driving under the influence after reportedly showing up in court drunk.

Joshua Beury is quoted as telling the judge in the community of Jim Thorpe that he routinely drinks 12 beers a day "and then some."

The 25-year-old man told the judge he's on medication for mental health problems, including bipolar disorder.
The Morning Call newspaper of Allentown reported that Beury showed up in court with a .20 blood alcohol content -- well above the legal limit of .08.
