Just means he had not been caught for 14 years not that he had been driving sober.

CNN this morning mentioned that no charges were made against the unicorn.

I am certain he has to be telling the truth.
Unicorns are never licensed to drive because the cannot pass the drivers test due to having hooves. Hooves do not function like hands, with fingers and most importantly, thumbs. Hooves are large and round and clunky and provide no grip. I regularly remind my horse (distant cousin of unicorn) that if he had a thumb, my life would be a whole lot tougher. No thumb means that he (usually) can't open a latched gate or unsnap the hook on his lead rope or open the cannister where his grain and treats are stored. Amazing that something as small as a thumb can be so restricting.

UPDATE____

Prosecutor: Unicorn Defense Was A Mixup
Prosecutor Says 'Unicorn Defense' Was A Mixup; Man Never Claimed Creature Was Driving Truck

BILLINGS, Mont., Mar. 14, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) It turns out there are no such things as unicorns _ and even if there were, they wouldn't drive trucks.

On Tuesday, a Billings prosecutor had told a district judge that Phillip C. Holliday Jr., 42, claimed a unicorn was driving when his truck crashed into a light pole earlier this month.

But on Wednesday, the chief prosecutor said it was all a misunderstanding. Apparently, Holliday told police an unnamed woman was driving when his truck hit the pole _ not a unicorn.

"Mr. Holliday has other serious problems, but this is not one of them," County Attorney Dennis Paxinos said of the unicorn alibi.

The mixup occurred when a deputy prosecutor misunderstood an e-mail from a colleague who used the phrase "unicorn defense," thinking it was an actual statement from Holliday, Paxinos said. "Unicorn defense" is a slang term used by prosecutors when a defendant blames some mythical person for a crime, he said.

"It's kind of a code (between prosecutors) and the code was misinterpreted," Paxinos said.

Paxinos apologized "to the public, the court and to Mr. Holliday" for the confusion and said he has chastised the prosecutors involved.

Holliday has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving. He is being represented by a public defender. Kristina Copenhaver-Landon, director of the public defender's office in Billings, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

This woman should remain unnamed if they confuse her with a unicorn, not sure I would want to meet her.

Lmo,

If your horse had thumbs then she (he?) could open her (his) own beer.

If he had thumbs, he could do a lot of things that he should not do. Yes, opening a beer would be one of them; so would opening bags of pretzels or potato chips or candy or Fritos or peanuts. Letting himself out of his stall or pen, opening bottles of Gatorade, helping himself ot the grain storage, the list goes on and on. I prefer him thumbless, just as I did my dog.

If he had thumbs he could do a lot of the work that you have to do for him himself though.
