CHICAGO - Four men have been arrested and charged with drug possession after police found what they estimated to be $39 million worth of high-grade cocaine hidden inside a shipment of Mexican avocado pulp Friday.

"This came right through the border," Chicago Police Cmdr. Wayne Wiberg said Monday while standing in front of still-bundled 2-kilogram bricks of cocaine, each of which had been individually stuffed inside 180 buckets of frozen guacamole.

After a tip, police located 308 kilos of cocaine inside the buckets taken from a truck. Police found another 760 tubs of the green goop at a warehouse in Addison.

"Somebody said, `Let's get some chips,'" Wiberg said. "I said we'd be here for a year."

You don't normally ingest guacamole through a straw.

What a great coincidence...Mrs. Bat and I are going to El Ranchito tonight. I think I'll just stick with the "Plate is hot, senor Numero Uno Combo" though...

Avoid the new menu item named "GuacaCoca".

"When the day is done, and you wanna ride on - Guacamole..." just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit guacamole.

Just sing the "Guacamole" part really fast. I mean, if country singers can rhyme "I am, but I ain't... I could, but I just cain't..." then this should be ok, too

You need a valid Poetic License to do that, though.

I liked that commercial. I don't remember what product they were selling, but I liked the commercial. I guess that makes it a successful failure, like Apollo 13.
