BURGER KING GOING TO POT

I remember being a kid and my grandparents would walk me all the way down Market Street in Saddle Brook, NJ to Burger King for something to eat. One of the things I always looked forward to was the toy that came with every kids meal. Yeah, those toys ended up just being little trinkets, but to a kid, those toys were simply awesome! Well, apparently, in Dundee, Michigan, they are giving out adult toys with kids meals now. No, I don't mean sex toys! Get your mind out of the gutter!

A family in Dundee recently discovered a marijuana pipe loaded with hashish inside a Burger King Kids Meal that they purchased for a 4-year-old boy. Now, for a 40-year-old boy like me, that would be like finding gold at the Burger King Castle! Unfortunately, it was found by a 4-year-old boy, which is not cool. 

So, after picking the child up from a local water park on Tuesday morning, the boy's grandfather took him to Burger King for dinner, where he ordered the Kids Meal. Fortunately, the man opened the box before the child did, discovered the pipe, and notified police. To be honest, why wouldn't he complain to the restaurant's manager first? Then call the police. These old-timers have a weird way of handling things. Anyway, police say that a 23-year-old male employee at the fast-food chain had packed the pipe full of hashish and pot before stashing it in the kid's meal box as if to hide it from his superiors. Well, the kid knew what he was doing with that combination. Um, I mean, that's what I hear. Here's what I don't get; those hash pipes have a little bit of weight to them. Whoever picked that box up; didn't they think to look inside to see why it was heavier than usual? Then again, people are dumb!

The boy's grandfather told police that he witnessed a young male employee running from the restaurant. Man, this old guy is one big tattle-tail, huh? During the investigation, police noticed that the suspect had left his cell phone behind. Two of the suspect's friends called the phone to warn him that the police had arrived at the restaurant and one of the officers tricked them into revealing that they were parked across the street. A search of their car revealed more drug paraphernalia, and the two friends, as well as the employee, was arrested. I have to say that these guys shouldn't have only been arrested for having drug paraphernalia on them; they should've also been arrested for being plain old knuckleheads!
