THE ADVENTURES OF OFFICER BOB
Dopey Dave was angry because someone had broken into his truck and stole cash and his marijuana (less than an ounce). Dopey Dave borrowed a car, did some extra drinking and was out searching. After a while, Dopey Dave called Officer Bob and complained that he was not working hard enough to recover his stuff. Officer Bob finally found Dopey Dave who said he too was looking for Thieving Tom who stole his “weed”. At that time Officer Bob arrested Dopey Dave for driving under the influence of alcohol.
FIREFIGHTER FLO asks that if you smoke, do not smoke in bed or near flammable materials. Use large ashtrays and be sure ashes, matches, and cigarette ends are cold before disposal.
