- Yeah, I remember when I was in high school last year, this guy got
- busted for dealing. Then as soon as he came back, a bunch of parties
- started getting busted. I went to one of them to just see the police
- come; and they did. It was fun being assholes to them. Of course, they
- got realy pissed off, and one started giving me these field sobriety
- tests, and after about 10 minutes informed me I was sober.
- Anyway, about the same time that the guy cam back, some new guy to
- the school came. And everyone thought he was a narc for a while. Kinda
- funny realy.
