Cocaine traces on Dublin banknotes

Post by Cayden »

A test of banknotes in circulation in Dublin found traces on 100% of the examined euro notes. Ah the Celtic tiger!

And on 65% of the dollar bills in the U.S.! No wonder I always feel like I'm in a fog. (Still...I'd like to see a larger sampling than 45 banknotes.)

The other day they found 15 kilo or so of cocaine in boxes of bananas at a number of supermarkets in Cork. The Gardai said it was probably a 'logistical error' :lol:

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Yeah, they meant for it to be with the apples.

I'll bet they'd have found traces on 100% of $100 dollar bills. :D

At first I thought this was a really desparate way for a student to keep up with his habit. Then I realized that they were on to something much bigger. What a great way to curb counterfeiting! Just make it official that all bills have to contain a certain percentage trace of blow. Brilliant! :D

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

This might explain the allure of the smell of money...

I can't decide which bothers me more: cocaine on money or fecal matter on shopping cart handles....

If its allowed in our Corn Flakes, it shouldn't bother you on your shopping cart handles.

Yup, yet another sign of totally awesome '80s nostalgia...

My favorite coke-related story happened at Penn State in the mid-'80s. There was a Chinese food cart in the quad that did very brisk business and their chow mein was incredibly popular. Nobody could explain it, because it didn't particularly taste all that great apparently, but people had to have it; they'd get angry and even physically violent if the cart ran out of the stuff. This went on for a few years before the cart was raided by police and it was discovered that the cook had been spiking the chow mein with cocaine.

Yeah, but what's the cocaine content of the fecal matter on the shopping cart handles?
