The Biggest Bong Ever
On CNN.com there's a story titled, "Feds smoke out largest drug tunnel yet".
Seems the Feds in the U.S. unearthed a tunnel running from Mexico to the U.S. that's about 1,200 yards long, 5 feet high and 3.5 feet wide. Suffice it to say that it's a really huge freaking tunnel. And it was chock full o' pot.
Not only was it a super long tunnel but it had more amenities than a 3-star hotel: built of concrete, electricity and lighting, ventilation and a pump to remove water. Granted, they hadn't yet invited Martha Stewart to clean it up, but who cares, it was full of pot.
Amanda at Orange Buffalo points out the obvious, but I'll do it again anyway -- the title infers that the Feds smoked out the tunnel. Obviously they didn't light a giant match and toss it into the tunnel to burn all the pot, that would have been an incredible disaster and an incredible waste. I can only imagine the scene when people rushed to both ends of the tunnel to try and inhale what would have become an absurdly huge smoke fest.
So kudos to CNN for the witty title (even if it was unintended), and kudos to the Feds for discovering the giant tunnel. The Mexicans are probably not that pleased since they'll get blamed for everything.
Luckily no one's discovered that even bigger tunnel running from British Columbia into Washington State...
