Oh, back in those days when the kids weren't watching DVDs...

There's a scene in the movie "Tapeheads", an old '80s flick starring
Tim Robbins and John Cusack as two guys who stumble into a career
producing music videos. They're drinking in a bar and the bartender
says that they need to pass a sobriety test for him to serve them any
more. He asks them to recite the alphabet backwards, skipping the
vowels, and signing the letters in ASL while doing it.

The actors do it.

I thought I'd never get served again if I had to do that!
