No Rocket Scientists

Some capers make you wonder why such a person would use a mind for their evil deeds. Other capers make you wonder if such a person has a mind to use for their evil deeds.
COLUMBIA Mo. (Columbia Daily Tribune) — Missouri Highway Patrol trooper Tommy Wally pulled over the pair, opened the trunk of the red 1990 Ford Thunderbird and found the 4-foot-long cylindrical device stuffed with 2 pounds of “ice,” or methamphetamine.
Seidl, 39, of Kentucky pleaded guilty yesterday before U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey in Jefferson City to participating in a conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Sullivan, 41, also of Kentucky, pleaded guilty last month to his role in the conspiracy. Sullivan, who was driving the car, fled on foot after the traffic stop and was arrested after throwing a small amount of suspected meth on the ground.
According to the story, the rocket was controlled by an elaborate system of pulleys and ropes that pulled the rocket upright when the trunk opened. They were also able to launch the rocket with explosives from an electric switch in the front of the car. So why weren’t they able to launch their stash when the officer pulled them over? THEY FORGOT TO PLUG IN THE ROCKET. They sure aren’t rocket scientists, but at least they’re smarter than the freaks behind Skylab.
The officer also found three pipe bombs in the trunk of the car, but they turned out to be fake and stuffed with more shipments of drugs. That’s even dumber. That’s like a gazelle disguising himself as a wildebeest on the plains of the Serengeti.
They also found $12,000 in the trunk, which Seidl claimed was from his job as a “chicken catcher” at Tyson foods that only pays about $40,000 a year. I don’t know what’s more pathetic: this guy’s dumb story or the fact a “chicken catcher” makes more than I do.
