    Some Wisconsin kids chipped in to buy Mom a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. For whatever reason instead of buying brand new, they got a factory reconditioned one. But since the reconditioning was done in Mexico, they also got Mom some $280,000 worth of cocaine and methamphetamine. :cool:
    I'm not positive, but I think this was the plot of an episode of "The Brady Bunch" once.

    It's Green Bay, Wisconsin... what can you expect. Oh and getting Mom a vacuum cleaner? Wow, how tacky and unoriginal is that?

    Well, they do have to investigate any Tea Party connections to all of this. :shrug:

    I actually meant to stop the quote before the line about the investigation. I was rolling eyes at the fact that they had to declare they had no plans to charge the woman. It should never have even been discussed in the first place. Someone finds drugs, calls the cops and turns them over and you think you have to make a statement that you're not going to charge that person? Fuck you.

    On a side note if I find several pounds of cocaine in a product I purchase from a major retailer I would really have to think about it a while before deciding what to do. :bergman:

    My stepbrother + his buddy found a bag of coke or heroin (been a while but I do remember it was not weed) when he was about 12 or so.
    His buddy's mom turned it in to the authorites.

    Coke and meth I'm gonna turn in. I have no taste for that shit myself, and I don't know anyone I could sell it to.

    But if it was a pound of weed...I'd be awfully damned tempted. My only worries would be that either the owner would somehow track me down, or I was on some hidden camera show.

    That would be a pretty funny show. Take a bag of weed, lace it with something like bug spray or PCP and plant it somewhere. Someone finds the weed, takes it home to smoke it, and we tape them having convulsions and ending up fucked up for life.

    We could put it on pay-per-view or sell DVDs late at night like they do for Girls Gone Wild. We can call it Reefer Retards.

    I think it would be funny as hell myself.

    They should be publicly commending her for coming forward. You'd think the law and order establishment would want to ENCOURAGE people to do that, not make them wonder if they're going to face prosecution for doing the right thing...

    She's lucky they didn't buy that vacuum from Ray or Dan Leach. If there had been kiddie porn in there, she'd be toast.
