Yesterday I read a post on Webmiztris blog and it totally reminded me of a funny story I thought I’d share rather than hog up her comment box.

When I was in jail (can’t tell you which time) I remember a bunch of us sitting around with nothing to do (Duh) and of course the natural thing to talk about is what you did to get your dumb ass busted.

There were ladies there on probation violations, embezzling, robbery and drug charges, to name a few.

At the time I was living in Long Beach with my drug dealing boyfriend. We were dealing pretty heavily so I had seen my fair share of fucked up people. Over the 5 years together I had only seen black people on crack. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prejudice person. No, I think the reason was becasue of the part of Long Beach we lived it. It wasn’t the rich part of LB. So running with druggies that’s what I saw.

Well I remember talking to this white chick. She was clean looking. She was an average looking white girl. Not all tore up and strung out looking. So average that you probably wouldn’t notice her.

Well, the reason why the cops did notice her is because she was a common crackhead up in Long Beach. When she told me she was arrested for posession of crack I think my jaw droped and hit the cold concrete ground. I was totally stunned because I had never seen a white crackhead! Did that make me a sheltered druggie? Hmmm…

Anyway, she said one of her charges was being in posession of TWO crack pipes. I was like Who the fuck needs, or CARRIES, two crack pipes??? Come to find out this dumb ass had one tube pipe with crack in it. She saw the cops rolling up and knew they were going to mess with her. While the pipe was in her pocket she figured she had time to break it and give them the empty half of the pipe, they’d take it from her, ticket her and send her feinding ass on her way then she’d be free to get high. Guess what? That didn’t happen. Nope. Instead they charged her with posession of TWO crack pipes!

I think that was one of the funniest stories I came out of jail with.
