I'm with you Oakranger. OMG guess what, there was this under cover cop at our school, who looked like he was ATLEAST 30. Everyone knew he wasn't a student, well we didn't KNOW, but we could tell. Any way, his first 7 words to me were "know where I can buy some pot?". And later, one of the substitue teachers recognized him from a college course she used to teach.
I remember one of them when one time I was visiting my girlfriend (now wife's) school back in 1979 when she was a senior. Same thing. Guy looked like he wasnt a day under 30 trying to play the part of a student. Everyone was hanging aroudn outside in the back when he walked up and asked if anyone had any pot to sell.
Almost in unison everyone looked at him and started yelling/chanting "NARC! NARC! NARC!" and he walked away never to bee seen again.
Funny thing was. Back in those days he could have picked out anyone and stood a better then 90% chance they had something on them. and it would have ranged from anything from acid to Quaaludes. To date I know VERY few people who were teens in the 70's who didnt do something back then.
A few years later I was i a bar with a buddy of mine who had had a fewq run ins with this same cop. first time I'd seen him since that day.
We were all sitting aroudn drinking when he turns to me and said "I've gotten this guy a few times. And your his friend. how is it i've never nabbed you."
I said. "you were a narc assigned to EBVS a few years ago right"
"yes"
I said. "Well then the answer is obvious. Your too stupid to catch me at anything. And hes too stupid to not get caught even by you"
