TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (217)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Asbury Park Press (from Thursday, April 30; link good at time of posting):

A Florida man faces misdemeanor charges for possession of drug paraphernalia after he placed his keys and other belongings, including a pot pipe, in a tray at a courthouse security checkpoint.

Clinton J. Gordon of Fort Pierce routinely emptied his pockets at the St. Lucie County Court House when a security deputy noticed something unusual among the items . . . .

The officer checked out the pipe and determined it was for smoking marijuana by the smell and the residue.

The 39-year-old Gordon was placed under arrest and charged in connection with the Tuesday incident.
