Cocaine Blues
As a correspondent for a newspaper, I pick up court reports from a local district justice office every couple of weeks.
Yes, it's that slow around here, and most of the time the reports are, sad to say, DUIs.
However, every once in a while, I come across those special cases. This week was such a case.
In a report about Billy Bob stealing a gazebo (no, not strange enough yet) was this tidbit:
Cocaine?
I had to read over that several times. I can just hear Slick saying to the policeman who interviewed him:
Funny thing is that the report didn't mention if Slick ever was charged with anything, although I guess he could be lying about the cocaine...of course, he did take a polygraph test.
Of course, it's not admissible in court.
At least, he didn't shoot anybody.

According to police, Jethro said Billy Bob showed him a receipt from a man named Slick for $2,000 for the gazebo.As I was reading the report, I, probably like you, did a double-take.
On June 27, Slick was interviewed and denied selling the gazebo to Billy Bob. However, Slick said, according to court records, that he had signed a receipt for $200 for cocaine from Billy Bob.
On Sept. 16, Slick took a polygraph and it was determined that he had nothing to do with the theft of the gazebo and furniture, according to police.
Cocaine?
I had to read over that several times. I can just hear Slick saying to the policeman who interviewed him:
"No, that wasn't for a gazebo, man. That was for cocaine, you silly."Then saying:
"Oops, did I say 'cocaine'? I mean Co...ca C0la. Yeah, that's what it was."Policeman:
"Um, you said 'cocaine.'"Slick:
"Aw, okay, I'm come clean with you, man; it was cocaine."Policeman:
"Well, now that we have that cleared up...about that gazebo...hey, wait a minute, not so fast there, Slick..."
Funny thing is that the report didn't mention if Slick ever was charged with anything, although I guess he could be lying about the cocaine...of course, he did take a polygraph test.

$2000? How many grams did this *ahem* gazebo weigh exactly?
(PS I hate your commenty-thingy)
In regards to your PS, I'm beginning to hate it too...I just need to figure out how to get back to a simpler template....or else move back to WordPress.com....which I liked much better than blogger. What complicates Blogger for me is this custom template.
I just don't want to lose comments. That's the catch.
Where the heck do you live where they give receipts for illegal drugs?

I think that guy was a cousin to the man who broke into a nearby establishment, stole severals TVs, and then called a taxi to take him and the goods home.

Somewhere where there is not very smart people. That's where. :)
Last night heard about a guy in our area who wrecked a car, then went to police and reported it stolen. We have some of the smartest people in the country right here, I tell you. :-[
How funny. A receipt for cocaine sales. That's one organized dealer. What, does he pay taxes on his business? =-O

Wow, those are some unique criminal minds there. And WAS there actually a gazebo theft? And if so, how exactly does one go about thieving a gazebo?

One uses a rollback. I left that out because it was quite a confusing episode, but the part about the receipt was just too funny. :)
Probably he would try.
Ahhh, I love stories like this. It really lets you know how normal we really are. ;)

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
