I left my wallet at home.
You won't notice that smell after a while.
The cheque is in the post.
The mice ate the weed.

Anyone know if Patrick Edgar visited Pilar on his trip to Argentina?

Good lord, surely they could all get high for years on that.

Think- No corrupt Coppers over here- just some bloody incompetent dumb ones at that time! Left the drugs in a next door cell whose door ended about 6 inches off the floor - so the drug owners in next door cell used a wire hook made from a couple of coathangers to snag the packs over time, pull then through and flush them down the loo!

Everything was “cleared” in a very dignified Engrish way... No arrests... No blames... No nada...
But..., IMHO..., the mice story from the corrupt Argie coppers is just as credible..., or incredible...
Why the heck did prisoners have wire coat hangers in a cell? I thought they wouldn't even let you keep your shoelaces. That's beyond incompetent.

Yes guys...I remember the story of sheer incompetence well. The prison at the time inclusive of the police station was still showing the considerable damage from the war.

Still didn't stop one of the prisoners to hop over the wall in the small outside area...:-)

One of the reasons to keep drugs illegal is, the police routinely get part of the loot.

Ignoring the 'whataboutery' this story is why I kinda love Argentina. The mine of funny stories is endless. :)
