Don’t all rush … over 120kg of cocaine packages have washed up on NSW (Australia) beaches over the last few days.

Members of the public keep finding 39kg packages and I can’t help thinking “surely they’d have packed them rounded up to 40kg” … and wondering where the missing 1kg is …

Genuinely thought "King Tides and Cyclone Jasper" was the name of some drug syndicate.

I though it was like a dnb band name. I'd buy their album.

The title makes it sound like bags of cocaine naturally come from the ocean.

This news article brought to you by: THE WAR ON DRUGS.

We may not have won the war yet, but stupid government officials are going to keep trying!

Also, cocaine dolphins. Hundreds of them need your cocaine donations. If they don't get the cocaine they need within 25 hours, they will probably end up in a gangbang somewhere, just swimming life away like aquatic savages.

So acting like dolphins then.
