They get what they deserve

The daily news feeds are inundated with news of politics, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and of course, we cannot forget all of the Democrats saying all of the Republicans are not only wrong, but totally wrong. Let’s be honest here, the news is the same thing over and over.

With that I mind when I come upon a piece of news that is completely out of the normal mainstream of gobbledygook we call politics, I read every word with tender loving care. I enjoy the article even more when it includes a person getting exactly what they deserve, not through hard work and investigation of the police, but through the individuals pure stupidity.

Such is the case of an Oklahoma woman who was using her son’s cell phone to try and score drugs for herself. I am sure that she figured, hey, he has all of the contacts and I need drugs, what better place to look. I am sure this person was dumb enough to use her friendly yellow pages first, “hmm, what would drug dealer under, drugs or dealer?”

When that course of action failed, she turned to her son’s cell phone. She immediately recalled her son telling her about a guy’s name, “Mom, if you ever need anything, call this guy, he can always help you”. She found the number, called and the man anserwed. She was elated, happy as a lark as she told the guy what she wanted. She was even happier when the man on the other end of the phone told her where to meet him to make the deal.

She had a friend accompany her to the meeting place and within a few minutes she met the guy on the cell phone, a Mike Woodruff. The only problem, he was not a drug dealer, in fact had she looked she paid more attention to what her son had told her she would have known that the guy’s complete name was, Lt. Mike Woodruff, of the local police department, who had just placed her and her friend under arrest.

This is another case of a person getting exactly what they deserved.
