BERLIN (Reuters) - German police charged a man with drugs possession after officers spotted a small quantity of heroin concealed in his ear when he entered a police station to check if he was on their wanted list.
I suppose he may have heard he was wanted for some offence and just wanted to see if the police had anything on him, Volker Pieper, a spokesman for police in the central city of Kassel, said Tuesday. It didnt go quite as he had planned.
As the 33-year-old man, a known drug abuser, questioned police, an officer noticed a suspicious lump stuck in his ear which turned out to be a gram of heroin, said Pieper. Police confiscated the drug before filing charges.
The tipoff was the guy couldn't hear the answers to his questions.
Officer: Entschuldigung. Sie haben Heroin in Ihrem Ohr.
Man: Was?
Officer: Sie haben Heroin in Ihrem Ohr.
Man: Was?
Officer: Sie haben Heroin in Ihrem Ohr!!!
Man: Es tut mir Leid. Ich kann nicht Sie hören. Ich habe Heroin in meinem Ohr!
Yep, that joke still sucks...
Even without the funny earload this guy is not a borderline genius.
