A funny Hoosier mangling

Here in Hoosierland, we have our own notorious way of skewing the
Mother Tongue: wunst or twyst, woarshing the dytees, Cincinattah,
eskewlator, The Indinaplis Coats, etc. But, last night on a local
newscast's segment called Crimestoppers...was this (a rough
paraphrase):
Joe Blow (NB - the name's changed to protect the esteem of the
rememberer, LOL) is being sought on suspicion of dilling marijuana.
Of course, as soon as we heard this, the missus and I turned & looked
acrossed to each other and guffawed thinking plum neart the same
thing: "Gee, would not the pickling process neutralize the ganja
weed?"
Giving the malaprops their props,
