Because, you know, there are so many good ones
Two men were shot with the same gun during a drug deal that went bad Wednesday night in the Spotsylvania Towne Centre parking lot, police said.
Not to dis my fellow journalists, but I always smile when I read about “a drug deal that went bad” (or, as the TVcasters like to say, “a drug deal gone bad,” like it’s a turkey sandwich or something).
Let’s see: A couple of armed people go someplace to transact business involving illegal drugs. No one gets hurt.
That’s good?
