Guard your Tomato plants

Defiant20 · February 18, 2012

Pretty funny article where a kid thought he was stealing a pot plant when it was actually a tomato plant. We need to be vigilant now guarding our tomatoes from renegade pot thieves.

It had to be a pot(ato) leaf plant, no?

Now THAT is just some seriously funny stuff. Thank you for making me laugh today. I needed that laugh.

yeah, it is pretty funny,

but then i'm thinking, the kid is 15, not in school, could be home schooled, but i doubt it, and is wearing the same clothes 5 days later. wondering what his life is like.

Keith, I teach high school students, and some of them only wear one set of clothes. Some wash, others don't.

I remember reading something interesting several years ago. Someone took ears of unshucked corn to various high schools in large cities. Only about 1 in 10 of the students they asked could identify it properly.

That reminds me of a story, sorry if it is a bit off topic.
My friend and I were at his house as his mom was getting ready for supper. We were in high school. She asked us to go to the store for her and get some corn. We jumped in my dad's car, which I was driving and headed off to the store. On the way we decided that it would be cool if we could get the job done and keep the money she gave us, only about 3 dollars. My dad used his car for company and personal purposes and had a large magnetic logo with his electric company's name on it that he would use when he was working, so we went to a sub-station (which was surrounded by corn fields) with the magnet on and got out of the car to collect our corn. When we got back we were feeling pretty smart. We did it more as a prank than anything, we weren't thieves. A couple minutes later we weren't feeling so smart. His mom said, "I know you stole this corn." We were astonished. How could she know? Well, needless to say, you can't buy field corn at the grocery store.

So we went back and got her what she wanted, but I think she was a little amused.

I'll go one better. The Independence Mo. police dept. a couple years ago were on a city wide pot grower bust and went in to one guys house and arrested him. They conficated his plants. Come to find out he had his tomatoes growing in his house. The police had egg all over there faces on that one.

Just because he was wearing the same cloths 5 days later doesn't mean they hadn't been washed.

I wear the same clothes that I had on 3 days before and they are washed.
Reason, it cuts down on the amount of cloths I have to keep in my room.

I had a cop slam on the brakes and look at my young tomato plants when I first moved here.

Now that same cop drives by and waves at me every day.

Even in town he waves at me.
