One for Jay Leno: Customs Agents Seize 316,000 Bongs Disguised as Christmas Ornaments at Long Beach Port

By Losanjealous - Thursday November 19th 2009

BongAnd on the lighter side, from the fair & balaced news source:

Customs officials say they got a surprise when they found 316,000 glass bongs disguised as Christmas ornaments at the Los Angeles harbor.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday that agents found the highly decorated drug pipes in 860 boxes shipped from China. The cargo, estimated to be worth more than $2.6 million, had been described as glass figures and Christmas ornaments.

Surely there’s some hacky joke to be found in this story, involving Santa Claus, chimneys, smoke and possibly Bill Clinton. Get ON IT, Jay’s staff of 25 writers.
