Jan 16 2009 'Next Day Air' Really Serious About Marketing Stunts
So it turns out that movie where Turk delivers a huge package of drugs to the wrong address isn't so far-fetched after all. My friend Ted sent me this story:
UPS delivers, but not always to the right address, a Denton man discovered Monday when he found a lot of green inside a package dropped on his porch by the men in brown.The man took the package to Denton police later that night, police spokesman Officer Ryan Grelle said. It contained a 30-pound brick of compressed marijuana with a street value of $10,500.
I should have known Turk would only be involved in perfectly feasible stories that foresee events in the near future--like all those Scrubs episodes predicting that story about comic mishaps at a hospital leading to an unexpectedly poignant music and voice-over montage.

Oh, man, Turk from Scrubs is in so deep. Some dudes decided to send a washing machine-sized box of cocaine through the overnight delivery service Turk works for (standard way to move huge amounts of contraband), only Turk delivers it to the wrong apartment--the apartment of Avon Barksdale! And if you've seen The Wire, you know that guy is not going to sit on a box of drugs for too long, because he's great at selling drugs in The Wire. So Avon sells the drugs, some guys come after Turk, they confuse him with Mos Def, hot ladies are sometimes present, etc. Basically it's like someone told Guy Ritchie to make what he thought a Friday movie might look like:
