  • Right, that's MUCH better.

    I'm not sure if this counts or not but I'm gonna post it anyway.



    Before my bagging days I worked as a reporter/columnist in a local new paper. One of my duties was to type up the police blotter. So one day I get a phone call.

    SC: Hapless innocent who I slandered.
    ME: The "I" in the previous description.


    SC: I wanna complain.
    ME: Okey doke, What seems to be the problem?
    SC: They said your the son of a B---- who types of the police blotter.
    ME: I am that son of a B----, yes.
    SC: My name's Druggy Mc Dugglestein. You said I was arrested for 'possession of crack with intenet to sell'.
    ME: Oh...yeeeeeessss....

    Now I'm a bit worried here because I've never actually got anything wrong before, not in the police blotter anyway. I just knew I had wrongly accused this poor guy of a horrible crime and that he was going to sue.

    ME: I'll have to check the report the police gave me, but I'm assuming you didn't get arrested for possesion of crack with intent to sell?
    SC: F--- No!
    ME: I very sorry...
    SC: It was powder coccaine.
    ME: Uh...oh...kay...
    SC: What are you gonna do about it?
    ME: Well...I'll be sure to post a retraction and apology in the next issue.
    SC: All right then, (Sounding pleased) Thank you.
    ME: Uh..noooo problem.


    So we did, we ran a retraction and gave our sincerest apologies for calling Mr. Drugglestein a crack dealer when he was really a coke dealer. I'm sure a heavy burden has been lifted from his shoulders.

        hey, Pepsi really does taste better. Coke's blind taste-tests proved it.

            Probably didn't want to get yelled at by HIS sucky customers for running false advertising in the paper. An upgrade from crack to coke when you dont' actually have crack would be considered a bait and switch.

                There are definite differences in these two products.

                And, I would imagine, quite the difference between rock and powdered cocaine.

                      I prefer Coke. Pepsi's far too bland. Of course, there's usually rum in it anymore.

                      That poor guy! He's running a business and you guys were advertising incorrectly for him. I can only imagine the customer service nightmare he had when a bunch of people wanted crack. And he can't pawn them off on a coworker or manager!
                      Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

                          I can't imagine what kind of clientèle this guy has to demand a change in the paper to change from possession with intent to sell crack to cocaine.

                            On a side note, try Mt. Dew and vodka sometime. I call it a 'Dew Driver.'

                              Well, yes, 1) crack gets much longer sentences, and 2) allegedly only rich white folk do powder coccaine. I suppose he doesn't want to offend his clientele?
