It seems some dude in Omaha accidentally ate some pot brownies his grown-up kids left in the car. Hilarity did not ensue for him, but it has for me. I especially like the headline in the Omaha World-Herald: [“Omaha dad finds pot brownies, eats 4 of them, says mean things to cat”](http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/omaha-dad-finds-pot-brownies-eats-of-them-says-mean/article_385099cc-649c-11e6-86a8-4728d60cb7fe.html) > [@](#): > > Paramedics called to the scene who checked the man found his vital signs to be normal. But they noted that he was displaying odd behavior — crawling around on the floor, randomly using profanities and calling the family cat a “bitch.” Something to tell the grandchildren, for sure! ---

Well, that’s because calling the family cat a “queen” just doesn’t have the same impact. ---

A dad cleaning out the back seat Saw brownies and thought “What a treat!” He was soon sans his britches Yelling “Cats is all bitches!” While juggling his balls to the beat ---

where we’re so nice that the vilest thing we do under the influence of drugs is mildly reproach household pets. I wish. But it’s a cute story. I hope Dad apologized to kitteh, and also had a little talk with his kids about buying sketchy treats and leaving them laying around. ---

[ > [@](#): > > Now, taking so many drugs that you are literally on the floor having full-blown arguments with the nearest animal/plant/couch cushion can be a worthwhile, invigorating experience. I’m going to guess, though, that Midwestern Dad did not have a good time because by the time you’re 53 years old, you’re pretty dang comfortable with your inhibitions. It’s inconvenient, not to mention a bit shameful, to have them torn down unexpectedly and discover that what you really want to do, after a batch of drugs your shady adult children bought reduces you to your basest impulses, is call the cat a bitch. > > Also I bet the cops were laughing a lot at this part. Having cops laugh at you is a literal Midwestern Dad nightmare. ]([http://www.vice.com/read/a-close-reading-of-a-police-report-documenting-one-midwestern-dads-pot-brownie-misadventure](http://www.vice.com/read/a-close-reading-of-a-police-report-documenting-one-midwestern-dads-pot-brownie-misadventure))😛 I love that bit! ---

I hope the cat hawks up a hairball in the guy’s shoes. ---

To be fair, the cat is a [tortie (see her pic)](http://www.omaha.com/columnists/hansen/hansen-pot-dad-back-from-accidental-trip-talks-about-being/article_75b2db64-015d-5823-a5e4-719ffe656e16.html) and you know they are all bitches. Meanwhile this article gives the man’s side of the story which is both hilarious and slightly sad (he’s a recovering alcoholic/drug user worried about losing his sobriety).
