I'm disappointed that the article didn't have the usual incredibly inflated street value of the drugs.

Well, THAT'S an A for effort...

Somehow, I doubt it was his idea.

"hey, does this blow smell like sweaty man-leg to you?"

Nobody expected the Spanish to be so...inquisitive.

First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...

Tointt..
Screw
Around!

told ya he was hard core

That's what happens when you go out on a limb, people.

Okay, you know that smell you get when you take a cast off? Why would you EVER snort something that had been a cast? Ugh.

something tells me cokeheads don't do coke for the pleasant odors

I'm sure he was so dedicated to his job that he happily let his employers break his leg for him.

Ballsy. Stupid, but ballsy.

That's dedication.

Bonus: he had deliberately broken his leg before putting on the cast so as not to arouse the suspicions of officials

The war on drugs made him go to this extreme? WIN!

I can't wait to see this plastered all over the news.

Many smugglers don't do it of their own accord, but don't snitch because they fear for their lives or the lives of those of whom they are found. This guy will be locked up for a long time.

We're winning the war on drugs!

So this guy had a real broken leg. When they took off the fake cocaine cast, what was he going to do then? Was he going to go to a hospital and say he lost his first cast?

*screams in agony*

Wait, that doesn't work?

NOW YA TELL ME!!!

*throws bowl of cocaine plaster against wall*

Would one of you take me to the damned hospital?

Befuddled: So this guy had a real broken leg. When they took off the fake cocaine cast, what was he going to do then? Was he going to go to a hospital and say he lost his first cast?

Or, you know, he could do it himself, or have someone else do it. Making a cast isn't particularly difficult.

Actually, going up it smells pretty sweet. It's the drip that sours ya.

Poppa Boner: *screams in agony*

I would, but you just wasted $100,000 in product.

Unimpressed:

Yeah so, next time, don't get greedy and try normal smuggling while your doing smart smuggling, dawg. Dollars to donuts, if he had just walked the cast through and not had a ton stashed in his bags as well, he wouldn't have be caught.

What if someone is in a full body cast? Are they even allowed through customs? Do they have to prove they are injured? Inquiring minds n all.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

This man's retirement fund must not be enough to cover his monthly expenses. Now he won't have to worry about making ends meet.

Cocaine in Spain comes mainly via plane.

The best type of cast? Made of compressed bananas. Bananabread, it's what's for casting.

Nothing But Net: Cocaine in Spain comes mainly via plane.

LOL!

But if you ever plan on smuggling drugs, don't freaking go through Spain. They always catch you.

They always catch international criminals flying through there too.

He was caught with beer cans full of cocaine and the legs of a little tripod stool he had were full of coke as well.

I wish they'd say how they found it. Did it not look right? Did a dog go off on it? Did they find the other cocaine first, which led to a more thorough search of his person?

ShawnDoc: I wish they'd say how they found it. Did it not look right? Did a dog go off on it? Did they find the other cocaine first, which led to a more thorough search of his person?

The Spanish article says he was "detected" in customs. I'm guessing it was the dogs. They already have a problem with cocaine here (Spain is number one in the world in usage, IIRC)and they don't like the bad reputation it gives them.

mrlumpy: The best type of cast? Made of compressed bananas.



Clearly.

At this weeks Armory Show in New York, there's a piece of art rumored to be made from cocaine:

One piece raising eyebrows was a sculpture by Fernando Mastrangelo, at the booth of the Los Angeles gallery Rhys Mendes. A white figure of a Colombian coca farmer resting on a mirror-tiled floor in an all-black setting, it was said to be made of cocaine.

It was later stolen by a fat bald yellow man.

That's what I came for.

Get off the lawn.

FTW!!!!

Your honor, the only thing my client is guilty of is going to Dr. Rockzo for his cast.

/KAKAKAKAKAKAKA YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!
//Can't post the Dr.Rockzo pic from me mobile sorry

I'm shocked and amazed that drug sniffing dogs were able to pick up a massive slab of compressed cocaine sitting out in the open air.

Like this ex-worker, tried to smuggle a half a key
in his left leg, even underwent surgery
They say his pirate limp gave him away
As the feds rushed him, comin through U.S. Customs

THIS

oh the good old days

hej: I'm shocked and amazed that drug sniffing dogs were able to pick up a massive slab of compressed cocaine sitting out in the open air.

Yeah, so was he.

It would probably arouse suspicions. You would be surprised how often idiots come through customs and do not have the simplest of there stories straight.
Me: "How did you break your leg?"
Idiot: "I fell on the ice"
Me: "What hospital did you go to for the cast?"
Idiot: "Uh, um, oh Hmmm, 'What was the name of that hospital?'"

Daniel says it's the best place he's ever been.

southaustin: That's dedication.

Well, cocaine's a hell of a drug...

Earguy: I'm disappointed that the article didn't have the usual incredibly inflated street value of the drugs.

That much coke...their calculators don't go up that high!

Chinchillazilla: Okay, you know that smell you get when you take a cast off? Why would you EVER snort something that had been a cast? Ugh.

Are you sure you never HAVE?

he probably would have gotten away with the cast if he hadn't also gotten greedy and hid more coke in his luggage.

Chinchillazilla: Okay, you know that smell you get when you take a cast off? Why would you EVER snort something that had been a cast? Ugh.

Would you ever snort something that had been hidden in someone's ass, or passed through someone's intestines, etc.? If you've used street drugs you probably have ...

Clever! But the drug dogs would've been going apeshiat.
