quote:

The grower was alarmed when the police helicopter swooped low over his property.

Soon, Bartow County, Georgia, deputies -- "strapped to the gills" and with a drug dog in tow -- converged on his doorstep.

They had the grower dead to rights.

Except the plant that the chopper cops had spotted from the air was ... okra.

Dwayne Perry of Cartersville told CNN affiliate WSB that he is none too happy about last week's "raid" conducted by the governor's drug suppression task force.

"Here I am, at home and retired and you know I do the right thing," Perry told the station. "Then they come to my house strapped with weapons for no reason. It ain't right."



Job well done

"But they were just trying to protect us. Do you want the cops to not be able to search people and their property at all."

- Everyone who will defend this

I guess a couple of deputies knocking on the door is just out of the question.

It's a gateway to other types of gumbo.

I woke up on the floor of a vacant building last Sunday next to 4 empty jars of pickled Okra, a dead bum with his face eaten off, and blood all over my face and person. I'll never touch the stuff again.
