Cricket's Chirps: If you're intoxicated, upside down and backwards, how often do you make the right decision?

BLOGGER'S NOTE: FB Deon "Cricket" Anderson might be the Cowboys' most entertaining character, so I figured it'd be fun to give the dude a diary. He'll discuss whatever is on his wacky mind in Cricket's Chirps, which will run every Saturday throughout the season.
This concerns me, for real. I'm lying on the bed, not ready for surgery the night before. They put the needle in my arm and start giving me morphine or whatever, just to take the edge off. They're shaving my leg and asking me questions, and I'm starting to get a little woozy.
Then they tell me, write YES on the knee that I'm having surgery on and NO on the knee that I'm not having surgery on - upside down and backwards.
I don't understand this. First off, shouldn't they know that I only have one left knee? That threw me off. Then I said, "I gotta do it?! Y'all don't know which knee I'm having surgery on? That doesn't make sense to me."
I got a little nervous, like, What if you guys operate on my right knee, which is my good knee? Then you'll have to operate on my left knee, and I won't be walking. I'll be in a wheelchair with bandages and staples everywhere.
But I actually did a pretty good job for being out of it, writing upside down and backwards and in fear that they'd operate on the wrong knee. I got it together, but what is that about? They should know that if it says "left knee," work on the left knee. The right knee is not the right knee.
But I got it right. I swear I had the L up on the left hand and the backwards L on the right. "OK, this is the left knee. I'm moving it - yep, this is the bad knee. Let me write YES on this one first, then no on this one."
It was terrible. You want me to do it? Are you freakin' serious? But I did it in capital letters: "NO, DON'T DO IT!!!" with arrows and everything.
My question to the public is, if you're intoxicated, upside down and backwards, how often do you make the right decision? I got it right!
