A Blast From the Past


Some years ago, there was a loyal city employee who had an interesting hobby. It seems that he had quite a flair for making things grow. He could have used his talents for growing roses, orchids or even prize winning vegetables but instead our employee-farmer used his green thumb for growing his own version of "Duquesne Gold" which he was growing in plastic drinking cups all over his yard here in Duquesne.

The bad news for him was that he never figured that his crop would be discovered and confiscated by a gung-ho Duquesne police officer. The good news was (and this is where being a loyal city employee came in handy), that although over two-dozen marijuana plants were taken from his property, only a couple made it to the Allegheny County Crime Lab for analysis. In addition, he was not charged criminally but only given a citation for disorderly conduct for which he paid a very small fine.

So...

Why was it that over two-dozen marijuana plants confiscated but he was not charged with a narcotics violation? What happened to the other plants that were not sent to the crime lab for analysis? Who else has benefitted after such criminal behavior?

Stay tuned for the answers to these and other questions!

Oh come on now...we all know the bunnies ate it, haven't you checked them out lately? Oh that's right, there aren't any in Duquesne.Ok, so the cop confused 2 with 2 dozen, after all they get hired even if they fail the test.

Bunnies have fury tails. The ones that ate those greens had long thin tails.....they are called RATS. And there a lot of them on the 2nd floor of city hall too.

I would 'bet' everyone up there knows about this. Is there someone I could put this wager with? Maybe I could call 9-1-1.
