Burglar Smokes The Ashes Of A Guy's Dead Wife Because He Thought They Were Drugs

Metro- Citronelle, Alabama, resident and war veteran Phillip McMullen was out of town staying with friends when someone broke into his house through a window. The burglar stole some 15 items, including fishing rods, a knife and a chainsaw, before coming across the ashes of Mr McMullen’s deceased wife. ‘He ransacked my house, tried to break in my gun safe, which they weren’t able to, they even took my wife’s ashes off my headboard, strewed them around, looked like they tried to smoke some of them or something,’ Mr McMullen told FOX10 News. I guess they figured out this stuff ain’t worth smoking, so they threw it up underneath one of my toolboxes.’ He added: ‘It’s hard to put in words, it makes me want to fight again, and I don’t like to fight.’ Mr McMullen and his wife Christine were married for 22 years and the former soldier says he’s not hoping the burglar can be caught so justice can be served.

Think of a worse thing to come home to than your wife’s ashes smoked by a burglar, you can’t.  Well actually we can because the article says the dude threw it up after he tried to smoke it.  So that’s a nightmare.  It’s a tragedy.  It’s all of the words we use in a situation like this.  But hey, it happens.  Drug addicts break into people’s houses and try to smoke human ashes (I made that up but it’s clearly true).  I’ve always been on the opinion that it’s kind of weird to keep the ashes of loved ones around anyway. So I’m not saying it’s this guy’s fault but it kind of is.  Take the ashes and spread them on a beach or on a mountain range or something.  Make it memorable.  Simply putting them on a dresser is lame and kind of asking to be smoked by a burglar.  More importantly, all I could think about when reading that article was How High.  Great movie.  One of my favorite stoner movies of all time.  I’m not promoting drug use but if you haven’t smoked a blunt and watched How High, what are you doing with your life?  The main point of this blog is to say, hey, if you haven’t seen How High and have nothing else to do this weekend, at least think about it.
