Paranoid? With Good Reason
If you’re one of the few and the proud who read this, you may remember that not too long I happened to read on The Smoking Gun that the FBI has decided that if you read an almanac and are curious about your surroundings, you’re a good possibility for being a terrorist.
Well, now law enforcement has come up with new ways to find drug dealers. Not too long a warrant was made out to search a suspected drug dealer’s house. The suspect in question was a manager of 21 gas stations, his wife, and their three kids. The main clue the police had is that the family made the horrendous affront of using more electricity than other families in the neighborhood. There were a couple other telltale signs that the family in question must have been dealers. It seems they were observed taking their trash out in the morning instead of the night like other families did. This is a known characteristic of drug dealers to keep the police from rummaging through their rubbish. One other sign was that the owner of the house had the audacity of being observed parking his red Dodge Caravan on his driveway on several occasions.
The conclusion of this is that if you use more electricity than your neighbors, take your trash out in the mornings, and park your vehicle in your driveway, you’re probably a rabid, gun toting drug growing dealer. On the other hand, you may have three kids who use electronics while waiting to be driven places in your van while you take your trash out in the morning so the neighborhood dogs don’t strew trash all over the yard.
