Flash in the Pan

A Canadian teen allegedly hid a lighter, pipe, and bag of pot in a Happy Meal, which, presumably, accidently went to an 8-year-old at an Ottawa McDonald's drive-through window. Her father went to the police. I think it was probably a case of the teen planning in advance, anticipating a wicked case of the munchies.

The Dallas Morning News reports that a police officer was fired for his deportment last November in a restaurant called Whataburger. Apparently the officer, after going through the drive-through with his wife and ordering two burgers and drinks, thought that he had more change coming to him. When the people at the counter double-checked and assured him that he was not owed an additional $9 and a manager went out to speak with him, he got out of the car, put the guy into a wrist lock, and said he was going to arrest him for theft. An employee came out with the money and Lt. Jay Cooper left. He was fired yesterday after an extended period of administrative leave. As the story notes:

"The Dallas Police Department is an organization lacking leadership with
integrity," Lt. Cooper wrote in a statement that he faxed to The Dallas Morning
News.

And they probably also don't remember the ketchup with your fries.
