If I’ve said it once on the roof of a high rise building at the top of my lungs, I’ve said it 500 times dressed as a clown at the steps of a flaming orphanage: drugs make you stupid.

According to the Associated Press, a man in Eugene, Oregon asked a vice narcotics cop if he was selling any drugs. What was the problem? The cop was wearing his badge.

Police were searching an apartment when a man came up to the tenant they were interviewing and asked if he could “hook [him] up,” the story said. He then turned to a police detective who had his badge hanging around his neck and asked him if he had any meth. I’m guessing…no.

The officer told the man he was under arrest, but the man tried to run. Police got him into cuffs and took him into custody. They found a bag of marijuana on him but reportedly no brains.

Police in total charged four people with various charges in connection with the incident: the tenant, the man who asked police for drugs, a third man who walked into the apartment with seven bags of meth and a fourth man who came to the apartment while carrying a butterfly knife. Finally (and this was an actual fact from the story), police just stopped answering the door. Sometimes it’s nice when jokes write themselves because then I don’t have to do any work.
