Sorry, We'll Have To Bill You For Gas

I love The Smoking Gun. They have a pretty funny take on most things related to crime and justice, and they find some pretty funny examples of life in the low lane.

This story gave me a good laugh:

Spiraling gas prices led an Indiana drug dealer to levy a fuel oil surcharge on customers purchasing cocaine, according to investigators. Anthony Salinas, 18, tacked on the gasoline surcharge when he sold a confidential police source coke on two occasions in June. While arranging one buy, Salinas told the source that a quarter-ounce of cocaine would cost $240--$215 for the drug itself and "$25.00 for gas money to deliver the cocaine..."

An itemized invoice for a coke deal? Sounds like some of these guys audited an MBA course over the past couple of months. Next they'll be bailing out banks.
