.......that Paul McCartney is busted for pot possession at Tokyo Narita Airport, and incarcerated for nine days (avoiding a seven year "hard labor" sentence he could have received).

And there are actually dopes out there that say that Yoko had something to do with it.

Apparently on a visit to the Dakota before he left for Japan, Paul shared some of this primo dope with John, and told Lennon he was bringing a bunch to Japan for the tour. Yoko then alerted some friends in the Japanese government.

Can't make this stuff up......
