I believe that episode was from Paine's Biography.

I seem to remember a story of Clemens telling his family about one time 
when he was put in jail out west, and when his innocent daughters 
replied with how he could've been put in jail, he responds with "Drunk, 
most likely." 

Did I catch that in the Ken Burns documentary? Is this more than 
apocryphal? Anyone?
