Um, "Jackpot"?
Dude, didn't we have 60 pounds of pot?
Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. - The Florida Highway Patrol says anyone missing two big bags of pot can call their Tampa area office. A crew picking up litter from along Interstate 4 near Tuesday morning made an unusual find: two big plastic garbage bags stuffed with freshly harvested marijuana.

FHP Trooper Larry Coggins says the 60 pounds of pot might be worth around $54,000 on the street. It probably fell off or was thrown from a car on the interstate.

The plants appeared freshly picked and some had intact roots.

Coggins says it's not the largest amount of pot ever dumped along a roadside, but it's certainly not a common find.

:rofl:

1. Why is it worth more on the street than on the roadside?

2. Never underestimate stupidity

I have a friend who works in a small city clerks office where strippers go to get licenses. One young woman sat in the office waiting for her license and made a call to arrange a very large coke deal at her place that evening. She had just filled out the application with her name and address.

My friend and her co-workers called the police. Not because they have a particular problem with illegal drugs but really felt that stupidity on that level shouldn't go unpunished.
