The men with no names? John Thomas, Neville Chamberlain, and Winston Churchill? Or Mohammed, Mohammed, and Mohammed?

...marijuana and cash

Or a green Christmas for that matter.

It's like the year without a Santa Claus.

Here they come now, the Miser Brothers!

Coming from the pizza capitol of the world I can only imagine how horrid English pizza must be. Right down there with Iowa pizza. Of course they’re going to ship drugs in it, otherwise it would have zero value.

In this country, the smart drug runners stash their stash in ballot boxes –no one bothers to check these or can question what’s inside of them…

Pizza boxes? What the hell, man?

Go to the UK version of Walmart and get a couple plastic tubs. So much better for your product than cardboard.
