This is True

What?

Deo Dubbs, 88, of Sarasota, Fla., has been arrested in a drug sweep, police say. Dubbs admits experimenting with drugs — “I really have nothing else to do. I get lonely and get tired of watching the tube,” he says — and was arrested after allegedly buying two rocks of crack cocaine. He even carefully negotiated the price down with the undercover officer, police say. “I’m pretty well thought of at the Senior Friendship Center,” Dubbs says, though the arrest may “spoil whatever reputation I have.” That’s the least of his worries: he faces a $5,000 fine and up to five years in prison if he’s convicted. (AP) ...Buddy, if you think the tube is boring, wait until your cellmate dictates what channel you watch.
