Tell me this didn't sound like a story someone would tell their parents after coming home three hours late:

Sure he did. He MacGyvered his way out of a trunk with a piece of lint and an eyelash. Since London has admitted to having problems with drugs, you might think this was cockamamie booshwah, as the kids say. If there's one thing drug addicts are unlikely to do, it's find strangers and force them to smoke drugs. Here! Take my drugs! I insist! I have no need for them and cannot possiby forsee a need for them in the future! Altruists, that's what users are. Altruists.
