78-year-old woman faces charges over marijuana stashed in freezerDANVILLE, W.Va. (AP) — A 78-year-old woman faces drug charges and authorities are searching for her 72-year-old boyfriend after police found about a half-kilogram of marijuana stashed in a freezer on her property.
State police arrested Mollie Williams last week after responding to a dispute between her granddaughter and the granddaughter’s husband, who were arguing over drugs. Police learned the man allegedly had bought marijuana from Williams, state police Cpl. Larry O’Bryan said Monday.
Armed with a search warrant and a drug-sniffing dog, troopers went to Williams’ residence near Danville. The dog led troopers to a freezer in an outbuilding where the marijuana, worth an estimated $4,000 US, was hidden under frozen meat and other food, O’Bryan said.
Williams was jailed and later released on $15,000 bond. Her live-in boyfriend, Jack White, who was recovering from heart bypass surgery, was given the opportunity to turn himself in but failed to do so, authorities said. He remained at large Monday.
“They appear to be the typical grandma and grandpa individuals. However, they sell marijuana,” O’Bryan said.
The granddaughter was charged with possession of marijuana and released on bond.

My "joke" was based on a misreading of the article and there's no chance of redeeming it. Sorry.

I'd still think there's a massive difference between 17 in 1960 and 17 in 1970, say. (This is partially based on the fact that my mom was 16 in 1960 -- in terms of her partying habits she was far more Saffron than Patsy.)
