Subby, I don't know who you are, but this is the funniest headline I've seen in weeks. Well done.

I was told there would be no meth... and whoever told me was right.

I'll smoke to that

Subby: ... evidence is worth almost 50,000 pizzas.

A new twist on an old classic. I like it.

Nice subby.

A joke I have heard in numerous marijuana threads, but still well done Subhead

LOL subby

*cough* *cough*

" 'ere "

Yeah, but it's Mexican weed which only makes you want to eat 25,000 pizzas.

Surely the guy that made the bust just wanted to celebrate with his best bud.

Mexican ditch weed is ditch weed.

It's been a while since I've seen one of those headline jokes. They's my favouritistist.

why would the mexican army use pounds and dollars to measure anything?

I LOL'd. Good thing I'm the last person still in the office or I'd have people staring at me.

Henny Youngman was a LIAR!

He was never really married!

Mexican army finds 3 tons of marijuana in truck.
...
evidence is worth almost 50,000 pizzas. I mean, dollars

//question? no? yes? question? no? question? you. question? yes? no? question? ok. question? ok. no?. ok.

Nice work subby. No cow trifecta, no lecture on how to go thru life son, and no Tiger in the headline. You winz the intarwebs.

I've been to Mexico dozens of times and the American dollar is preferred. I am pretty sure their army would welcome it.

I have an 1/8th in my pocket that is stronger than 3 tons of Mexican schwag.

/snob

Next time, make the truck body from the dope.

Hey Bill Wicks Friend. How YOU doin?

Because of where the weed was going? in a tractor-trailer headed to the U.S. at the Zaragoza Bridge

-or-

The article was written by an El Paso newspaper.

Take your pick. Easier when you RTFA.

Marvelous headline.

50 pounds of Mexican brick weed is worth way less than $50,000.
50 pounds of good weed is worth considerably more.

So they impounded a roach?

I did RTFA.

The event happened in Mexico. The 'local police' were also in Mexico. The headline (which I quoted) is written from the POV of the Mexican police. TFH mentioned 'dollars'. Did you RTFH?

But that 25 lbs stored in the evidence locker won't protect itself

"Able Baker Charlie to Roger Fox Dog!"

"Hey, man, somebody's talkin' pretty bad about Roger..."

"Tell 'em Roger ain't here."

"ROGER'S NOT HERE!!!"

"This is the Captain!!!

"The Captain ain't here either..."

Note that this stuff was heading north.

But securing the border is wrong! Being against illegal immigration is racist! People can never be illegal. And they were here first! They are just reclaiming their stolen homelands!

That should be the basic Fark thread for the next 100+ posts.

And if you ask why did I bring all this stuff up? It's because it is all linked. The groups who smuggle in aliens are usually the same people who also smuggle in drugs. The issue is security.

Gee, this wasn't inspired by the Headlines of the Year thread or anything....

That's like, what, 2 days worth of pot for an average town?

boxster: Gee, this wasn't inspired by the Headlines of the Year thread or anything....

Someone pee in your cheerios this morning?

Police office Sergio Lopez was given a warning for stealing the five pounds of evidence.

Since it's clearly simply about racism and security, the farming lobbies should have no problem with border legislation...

I like the fact that the spokseman was the 'Joint Operations' Chief...

And in recent historical news it's been reported that Santa Anna only brought 5000 mexican soldiers to the Alamo because he only had one truck.

I live in San Antonio and it's a given that at least once a week I will be in a traffic jam caused by an 60 year-old mexican, driving a 30 year-old truck, about 30 MPH....on a farking 65 MPH speed limit highway.

Anybody that lives anywhere in Texas knows exactly what I'm talking about.

santadog: Mexican ditch weed is ditch weed.

Actually, the ditch weed is pretty much likely to be the bait, in order to distract everyone from the rest of the stuff shipped out.

/Where do the seeds of the good stuff come from, anyway?

Or San Diego. Except there is not only 30 people in the truck there are 80 mattresses and 20 dish washers.

heh. Subby lie, only some Oregano ended up as evidence. That's what the five Pizzas were for.

So... fifty people, then?

I've three pizzas in the oven currently and I appreciate the recycled thread joke for obvhighous reasons

Good folks.

Looks like the real shipment got through again. 3 tons is just throwaway for these guys.

FTFA: "The Mexican army this week seized 3 tons of marijuana in a tractor-trailer headed to the U.S. at the Zaragoza Bridge, officials with Joint Operation Chihuahua said."

Why have Taco Bell when you can afford steak?

Old meme is old.

bigpeeler: Subby, I don't know who you are, but this is the funniest headline I've seen in weeks. Well done.

Was the one before that the same headline? Seriously, every 3 weeks someone makes a headline that goes as follows:

1)Cops make bust
2)Cops steal money
3)By end of headline, barely any money left

Woo. Funny. Ha.

Dad stole all of my med mj while he was visiting for xmas because he's a useless pothead used to smoking mex and doesn't mind lying to his own daughter anymore.

/has a card for spinal deformity, still can't afford it.

I live here, too. I guess you're ignoring the vapid yups weaving from lane to lane whilst talking to Muffy, their dog; on the other end of the phone, a bemused maid holds the phone to the yappy little furball's ear. You're missing the large number of retirees, too. Y'know, they're the ones that invented the "cruising" lane to the far left where anything over 45MPH (in a 70MPH zone) is "maniacal". Let's ignore the teen drivers that cause at least one wreck in front of our shop every day, and who in fact plowed into one of our customers as they were pulling in for laptop repair.

No, evidently the problem is those darn Mexicans again. I'll give you credit for a sharp eye, though; even after 20 years of living here, I can't tell a difference in nationality just by sight.... but hey, if you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin, then mister, you're a better man than I.
