How'd this tonne of tobacco get in my Lebanese bathroom products?

It would appear he was innocent until proven guilty standover tactics proved he was innocent. Did I hear right on the news that the first trial resulted in a hung jury, the second was aborted owing to jury dismissal because the defendant’s associate was caught taking photos of the jury, and on the third he was finally found innocent.

Actually no-one can be found innocent, the only options are guilty or not guilty. Even if he is innocent he can only be found not guilty, it’s a fine point but the law is constructed of fine points

“They were meant to be in THAT container!”

I know a fellow in Canberra who grows his own tobacco, he uses it in his pipe. he has only one lung and coughs and splutters for 30 seconds every time he wants to speak, but each to their own.

Tobacco smuggling has been big business for years, and is at least as profitable as illegal drug smuggling. According to this article, over the past three years customs seized 715 tonnes of tobacco and 217 million cigarettes in sea cargo.

I like how he said “they weren’t meant to be in this container”. Was he expecting them in another?
