THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS. ANY QUESTIONS?

Three men pulled up to a highway tollbooth in Tampa, Fla., and apparently decided to run through it without paying. That was their second mistake; the first was that they weren't running through a tollbooth, but rather the security gate at MacDill Air Force Base. The car was quickly surrounded. "They had guards all over it. Machine guns in the windows," said a Tampa Police spokesman. He added the occupants appeared to be high on drugs. When police arrived they searched the car and found more than 35 grams of cocaine and $1,000 in cash. Matthew Dail, 19, Simon Joseph, 20, and Jason Sharp, 19, were charged with drug trafficking. The police spokesman couldn't help pointing out, "See what happens when you ignore a toll?" (St. Petersburg times) ...Yeah, but $1,000 wouldn't have covered that gate's toll anyway.
