Urine Trouble, Dad!

2007_11_urinetst.jpgWe're sure that one Long Island father thought to himself, "If I can't use my for a urine test, I'll use my child's urine..." when he decided to take his 9-year-old out of school. The problem is, Suffolk police officers happened to be passing by the deli where the 36-year-old father and son were and became suspicious when they saw "the child fixing his pants and watched as the father poured something from a coffee cup." Even better, when questioned, the child told the cops that his dad pulled him out of school to pee in the cup.

The father was applying for a job with a trucking company and needed to pass the drug test. Unsurprisingly, Newsday reports the police also found a marijuana pipe and pot in the man's car. The man was charged with child endangerment and marijuana possession; he was also told by the judge not to go anywhere near his son.

The criminal complaint also explained how the man was going to use his son's urine: He was going to pour the urine from the coffee cup into a condom and use that during the test.

damn, i never got pulled out of school just to hang with my dad for a day. kids today are so lucky.

"Where did you learn how to fake a drug test son? Where?!"

"From you, okay?! I learned it from watching YOU!"

He probably could have talked his son into doing this before the boy left for school that morning, but you know how these pot smoking hippies like to sleep in...

Oh yeah, and also probably not the best way to find out your 9 year old is smoking crack...

The child was endangered by peeing in a cup?

he had a good idea but should of done it in private LOL. very stoopid.

I need to know if it was a china cup or a styrofoam cup. I won't be drinking deli coffee until I know.
