RALEIGH, N.C. -- A University of North Carolina professor is complaining his conviction on drug smuggling charges in Argentina is an injustice.

Sixty-eight-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill physics professor Paul Frampton said he unknowingly carried 4 pounds of cocaine hidden in a suitcase from Bolivia while on a quest to meet a famous bikini model who is in her 30s.

British news reports say Frampton told investigators he was in Argentina to meet a model he'd met online and someone gave him a bag they claimed belonged to the woman, a Czech model called Denise Milani.

...SNIP...

Frampton also is fighting a decision by university officials to stop paying his $107,000 salary for failing to fulfill teaching and other duties. Frampton says he's now worried the university will fire him.

Liberalism is definitely a mental disease. This guy gets caught smuggling drugs and he's PO'ed because the college doesn't want to continue to pay him while he's in jail in Argentina....unreal. This is what is teaching our kids and grandchildren. No wonder the US is so screwed up. He's just too stupid to be in the position of a professor.

He’s old enough to qualify for full social security - that ought to give him enough money while he’s in prison.

Guess it’s good that he hooked up with drug smugglers instead of muzzie terrorists.

If I were ever on a sinking ship with Denise Milani, I’d cling to her in the water. There’s no way she would go under....

You would figure that by 68 years old he’d have learned to think with his brain.

We got a lot of book smart, real world stupid types at work. They can talk all day about turbulent flow of incompressible fluids, but they can’t figure out how to work a toilet.

Now that the close to 70 British-born particular physics professor Frampton has through his stinking behavior made himself an international laughing stock and drug-running criminal who’s in danger of losing his university salary, he’s asking for double his salary!

HA,HA,Ha. Would you take this bag to my grandchildren in the US? I’ll have my friend meet you in Miami. Gee, I thought people wised up over this old handoff trick back in the ‘70’s. Dumbass.

Looks like there might be a second victim lining up for a flight:

“It looks like he made a bad decision to accept a bag that he shouldn’t have accepted, but it’s a terrible thing to have to spend several years in prison for that,” Mark Williams, a UNC professor of math, told WRAL-TV.

So Prof. Williams thinks the problem is taking a bag, not that a 68 year old man flies to Argentina to meet a 30 year old “model”?

Lesson: Don’t send your kids to Chapel Hill. The profs are too stupid.

At least Susan Rice can now point to credentialed intellectual who is more gullible than she is.

UNC prof not real bright.

When overseas...never take a package from anyone you do not know (unless they are family). And, always pack small so you can carry on the plane...do not trust check in and baggage handlers outside US

Denise Milani says...

"I have no idea why they would have picked me..."

Other than the two most obvious reasons, eh Denise?
