Barry and the police
We just got back from a trip up to Natchez Miss. While there we had to visit (what is left of) Natchez Under The Hill. If you get a chance read up on this imfamous place. If you ever get to visit make sure you go to the Saloon under the hill.
Barry, the evening bartender is a riot! One story he related put me in mind of a song Arlo Guthrie could have recorded. He and a buddy were pulled over for a traffic violation of one sort or another. The cop digs through the vehicle and comes up with three pot seeds. Enough to haul them off to jail it seems. Barry says he didn't have the heart to tell the cop it was not seeds he'd found but a burnt match head and two boogers.
So anyway, Barry says they kept them in jail for 9 months, until they finally admitted that yes, at some point in their pasts they had probably smoked some pot. By then Barry and pal had it pretty nice and weren't all that interested in leaving. Seems Barry was a trustee and was allowed out so he would go get a gallon of OJ and a jug of Vodka fairly often and send it up the old bed sheet rope to his pals on the inside. I bet they miss Barry still.
