We all know how repulsive our noses find the material (Gas, Liquid AND Solid) that is regularly (one would hope) expelled from our bellies via our poopchute. Me thinks a certain smuggler was relying on that fact when he or she (hey, we may not be conventional on this site, but we're certainly P.C.) secreted over 200 pounds of cocaine beneath the ship's "sanitary holding tank".

Maybe he or she banked on the fact that even IF drug dogs "hit" on that location, the handlers would "ass"ume it's because of the dogs' proclivity toward the hindquarters of ALL species.

Maybe he or she trusted the human inspectors ingrained fear of feces (we all have it), thereby offering a biological (if a bit Freudian) mask to their game.

Maybe he or she just said, "Hey, this shit turns your brain to poo, so let's give it a head start!" and just hid the stuff in a relatively hidden, yet easily (for the recollection after the trip) accessible area. After all, these people are trying to smuggle drugs. Obviously, they're not on Mensa's watch-list.

Regardless of his or her motives, the plan failed. Our ever-present, ever-thinking Customs Agents found it (although, it seems as if more by luck than skill).

On a brighter note, at least the smugglers showed some initiative; the cocaine they were smuggling is routinely turned in to "crack", thereby ruining a perfectly good product, some would argue. They instead, tried the reverse of the process; they tried to hide their coke by COVERING it with crack(juice).

Okay, I'll admit, that was a long way to go for a stupid pun, but you gotta understand, I've had the seedling for that gag in my head from the moment I read the story. If you think you could do better, let me know...
