Text Mess

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 • Filed under Drugs

There are two things on this planet that are definitely dumbing down the masses: drugs and cell phones. I wonder what would happen if someone combined the two.

According to the Associated Press, a West Virginia man who thought he was texting his friends about his stash of weed was actually texting the state police.

The man sent the text to a friend who’s number turned out to belong to the state police. It turns out his friend never told him he changed his number. Some friend. He can take back that friendship bracelet.

The man reportedly asked if he wanted to buy some weed. He got a “Yes” response and was told the deal would go down at the local police station. Not really, but a humorist can dream.

He got charged with deliver of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and $1.50 in roaming charges for the text message. Damn you Cingular. Have you caused enough grief?
