This headline made me giggle:
COKE STASHED IN DOCTORED PEPPER
It’s from the New York Post, which reports:
Three people bought peppers at a Queens store last night and found them even hotter than they expected – all of them had bags of cocaine inside, police sources said.
The peppers were sold at a store on Liberty Avenue in Ozone Park to three separate purchasers, none of whom apparently had any idea of what they were buying.
Store owners told authorities that the peppers had been imported from South America. Police notified the health department and cops were searching the store with K-9 units.
Full marks to the headline editor for a clever play on words. Long live puns!
