Things that make you go "Duh!" part 3, courtesy of Yahoo! News

(Sudiegirl's note: I know I shouldn't pick on Elmer so, but you know, he's just so damned convenient! Besides, if you know your Warner Brothers cartoon history, Friz Freleng didn't like using Elmer that much so he came up with Yosemite Sam instead. However, Elmer is such a convenient scapegoat, I think he'll be the unofficial mascot for news stories involving cluelessness and general stupidity. So now, without further ado..."a toking I will go...")


What do you suppose he thought would happen? (If you have to even ask...)

2 hours, 40 minutes ago
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas man was arrested on Monday after calling police to complain about the theft of his marijuana, authorities said. (Gee, man, that's your FIRST mistake. )

Stephen Knight, 17, said three men had broken into his apartment, hogtied him with Christmas lights and stole some marijuana, along with a plasma screen television, police said. (Is it just me, or does this seem like a scenario from "The Big Lebowski"? Can you imagine The Dude tied up with Christmas lights while the nihilists or Jackie Treehorn's goons trash the place looking for his weed? And Donnie asking what happened, with Walter yelling at him to "shut the F*** up Donnie, you're out of your element!" I can, and that scares me on many levels.)

Police are looking for the suspects. (I'll give ya a hint...I'll bet they're stoned.)

In the meantime, they arrested Knight after finding several marijuana plants growing under heat lamps in the apartment, four grams of harvested marijuana and a tablet of ecstasy, Officer Chad Ripley said. (OK, if he had that much more ganja at home in a greenhouse environment plus the harvested stuff and the ecstacy, what the hell is the problem? Why call the cops?)

Knight said the men barged into his home early on Monday morning demanding, "Where's the weed?," according to San Antonio police. (Aha...nearsighted thieves! If they can't see the heatlamps and smell the stuff, they're worse off than we thought.)

Sudiegirl's final word?

How could anyone be so dumb? I really don't get it. That meathead would have been better off shutting up and just trying to smoke oregano or Drano or something.

No wonder I stay sober these days...I don't want anyone writing news articles like this about me.
