Heres a few things i found jus browsing thought they were funny.. SCRATCH & SPLIFF "Quote" Hash grower is let off over itchy privates A CANNABIS farmer was shown mercy by a sheriff yesterday - after explaining he wanted to use the drug to tackle the pain of itchy genitals. Gregor Spalding said he had been in "chronic pain" for three years. And he told a court he grew the drug to provide relief because painkillers were not working. Police had arrived at Spalding's home in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland, on April 15 looking for someone else - but detected a strong smell of cannabis. Spalding, 30, led them to a cupboard where he had set up a small crop o…

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4835.html Maybe our government could plant big cannabis crops in Australia to give our troops some cover in case of future invasion. Just a thought.

Getting high is in your heels By Fiona Connolly January 05, 2008 12:00am http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5828505,00.jpg THEY bring new meaning to the term high heels - a pair of thongs known as "stash sandals" in which teenagers can hide drugs and drink. The latest must-have fashion accessory with hidden storage compartment allows users to store their "gear" in the heel of the thongs, which come with a screw cap and key. Manufactured by surf label Reef and available in most surf stores for about $70, the thongs are marketed as an alcohol container, with the key doubling up as a bottle opener. A Reef spokesman yesterday denied the shoes were designed to…

from www.theaustralian.news.com.au http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...0-12332,00.html Interesting conspiracy theory. Thank you CIA for maybe bring us drugs, apparently. Haven't heard of this one before. It wouldn't surprise me. What better way to keep the anti-wart movement quiet. Keep 'em high. Plus you then create a whole "war on drugs" industry which is still in full swing today.

A ROOKIE Top Gun was badly burned when he was set on fire while dressed as a SHEEP in the Officers’ Mess. Shocked fancy dress revellers pummelled out the flames after a guest ignited the RAF pilot’s costume with a cigarette lighter.

AN RAF ground crew man has become a video star — break-dancing as he directs £25million Tornado jets. Dean Tabreham, 28, was filmed larking around as he guided Top Gun pilots and their 1,000mph GR4 bombers taxiing on the tarmac during a Nato training exercise. The five-minute video has zoomed around the Ministry of Defence on email, causing some computers to crash because it takes up a huge slice of memory. In one sequence, Senior Aircraftman Dean dons gigantic false hands — like those worn by madcap comic Kenny Everett — to marshal the jets. In another, he does a break-dancing routine as one of the Tornado’s red-hot turbo jet engines passes just inches over his he…
