Friends, Foibles, and Fun of Small Town Living
I knew a guy who got arrested one day a while back. The local cops were out to teach him a lesson, so in addition to arresting him, they towed his pickup truck to the impound garage, located under the courthouse.
Several days went by. People who worked at the courthouse started noticing an unpleasant odor in the parking garage. After a few more days, the smell was so bad that they had to evacuate the courthouse and call in a Hazmat team.
The Hazmat team finally found the source of the smell: A burlap bag filled with dead rattlesnakes in the back of the pickup!
They asked the guy “Why didn't you tell us about the rattlesnakes when we arrested you?” To which he replied “You guys seemed to know everything! I figured I'd let you find that out for yourselves!”
