Just look at is a helluva…
… I’m so confused.

What I need is $550,000 worth of free cocaine.
I think that’s just the thing to add some clarity.

If your boss is a drug lord and you lost half a million dollars, do you think you’d be:
A) Reprimanded.
B) Offered a promotion
C) Terminated. literally.

As amusing as these “I found thousands of dollars in drugs” stories are. I suspect there is a tragic ending to the story that we never hear about.

Did they sample it first before turning it over? Asking because that’s what I’d do…

Well, how would they know it’s something to call the police about if they didn’t try it first?

Our local news anchor just informed us that Safeway probably wasn’t the intended recipient.

Good to know. Thanks.
