How stupid can you be?

December 31, 2006 | No comments

I heard a story about one of my neighbours last night, and I simply have to share it.

The neighbour in question is a major alcoholic. He lives across the street from us, 5 or 6 houses down. In this house also lives his two brothers, who are also alcoholics. They drink basically around the clock, and they often end up in the middle of the street screaming and yelling at each other (probably about who got the last beer).

On with the story. Apparently, he gave a woman (possibly a prostitute, I’m not sure) $40 and asked her to go get him some crack. As to be expected, she never returned, with the money nor the crack. So, the first thing Billy did was raise 9 kinds of hell. There was much stomping up and down the street, waving his arms, etc. And then he did something even more idiotic: he called the police and told them what had happened. Yes. He called the police, told them he’d given some lady $40 to buy him some crack, and that she never came back with the money or his drugs.

Suffice to say, Billy is spending New Year’s Eve in jail.
