1PM Your Grandma Always Was a Character
Policewoman: Right. So then I had to search her, and I found a crack pipe shoved somewhere that a crack pipe should never be shoved. So I entered it in the log, and then I threw it into the garbage. Then she said, 'No, you can't throw it out. That's my best one! I'll never get another one like it!'
Mother: Oh my god, honey, how nasty! I don't like you working in situations like this.
Policewoman: Well, but my point is this: of course she'll get it back. Soon as I release her, she'll just go digging in the trash and find it, and shove it right back where I found it.
