My Bologna Has A First Name...
...it's C-A-R-S-E-A-T!
Load Of Illegal Bologna Seized At Texas-Mexico Border POSTED: 9:44 a.m. EST November 24, 2003 EL PASO, Texas -- Border agents last week landed a meaty bust, seizing 756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat and covered with blankets in a man's pickup. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 81 rolls of Mexican bologna Friday at the Paso Del Norte bridge as the pickup entered the United States. "It puts the ultimate consumer at risk," said customs spokesman Roger Maier. "Who knows how long these products have gone without refrigeration or without proper handling?" Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place. He said the agency plans to pursue civil penalties against the Mexican man driving the truck. Maier said the agency won't release the man's name until the case goes to trial. Maier said the bologna goes for about $1 a roll in Juarez. When it is sold to a customer in the United States, it can go for between $5 and $10 a roll , he said. Link

That is absolutely hilarious. I can see people scheming on how to make money and one guy says, "See what we do is take a bunch of bologna and shape it like a car seat . . . ."

Two quick thoughts:
#1 - "756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat " - I just cannot seem to get myself to comprehend this statement, somethig liek the conversation we had not too long ago about the infinite/finite universe concept. #2 - "said customs spokesman Roger Maier." You think Maier got this assignment by chance? Or do you think his bologna has a second name, if you will? |

There's something to this statement... but I'm not entirely sure what that is. Might be a point about international trade, I'm not sure. Might intead be about effete American snobbery, too. |

I don't think it is a coincidence. This guy seems to know waaaaay too much about bologna. I just hope that car had an air conditioner. Can you imagine what baked bologna (sprinkled with kid's ass) smells like?

Yay! Lets hear it for those hard working El Paso Border Patrol agents!!!
I wonder how many cars they let through that were carrying drugs across the border when they were searching the Bologna-mobile?

When you think of illegal shipments of low grade processed meats into the United States, you think TEXAS!

Meanwhile, as they are processing this guy, 10 truckloads of weed passed through undetected.

I reduced the image for you, prime. I realized that the wiener was just WAY too big.

There's something to be said for smuggling bologna across the border. Are the crack, heroin, and automatic weapon markets so saturated that people have to start smuggling bologna?
DAMN YOU, NAFTA! SI
