G-R-E... umm... A?

It's late. Maybe I'm just tired, but this is funny:

U.S. v. Brown, 500 F.3d 48

Pg. 52: "By prearrangement, two Portland police cruisers converged on the truck a short distance from the bus terminal. Officer Bickford directed the passenger to disembark, frisked him, and asked for his name and date of birth. The passenger identified himself as Anthony Green, gave a date of birth, and claimed to be from Boston. He appeared older than the proffered date of birth suggested. Moreover, he professed to have no identification and, when asked how to spell his name, he hesitated."

Oh, don't worry... it doesn't end there! A few paragraphs later...

"The officers... asserted that throughout this exchange Green was constantly looking around, as if looking for a way to escape. When asked a second time for identification, he tried to peer into Bickford's notebook, as if trying to recollect the name that he had given."
