Common Sense Lesson #143
Earlier this week, San Antonio cops arrested a man wanted on an outstanding warrant. While he was being processed, the man offered to pay the cops $20,000 if they would just let him go (around these parts, we call this bribery, son). But, he explained to the cops, he didn’t exactly have the money on him. “So can I make some phone calls,” he asks. “Sure,” says the cops.
The police took the dude to a nearby Denny’s (!), where he called some chums. Later, a guy and a young gal showed up to the Denny’s, money in tow. And wouldn’t you know it, the Tactical Response Unit was waiting there for them! All three were arrested (or rather, the two newcomers were arrested and our fine feathered friend was re-arrested), and charged with organized crime and conspiracy to bribe a cop.
So today’s lesson - if your friend calls and asks you to bring money so he can bribe some cops, good friend or not, you should probably pass.
Today’s alternate lesson? (And probably the more important one.) Never go to Denny’s!
