What (Faux) Brown Can Do For You

FedEx blew their numbers yesterday, and the stock got killed.

But they are doing better than the fake UPS guy:

Arizona Department of Public Safety Detectives have confiscated about 2,118 pounds of marijuana from a truck that appeared identical to a United Parcel Service truck.

A suspect fled the scene when an officer and narcotics canine attempted to stop the vehicle, according to MYFOXPhoenix.com.

A search of the truck yielded nearly $1.2 million worth of marijuana bundles typically transported by human drug carriers or “mules” through the desert, MYFOXPhoenix.com reported.

Suspects painted the truck to look like a UPS vehicle, complete with the typical reflective yellow decals, the station reported. The truck also sported a homemade Arizona license plate with a number that was assigned to an actual UPS truck servicing the Tucson area. Fox

Pretty ingenious, but they could not pull it off. But at this point I will pull for anything - hopefully the underground economy is doing better than the real one. Pot prices are probably dropping like every other agricultural commodity, right?

But this could ruin somebody’s Christmas. Self medicating is the only way to survive the last week of the year spent with relatives.
