You will have to forgive the graphic picture but this extraordinary x-ray is a 20-year-old Irish national caught in Brazil after swallowing 72 bags of cocaine.
The man is identified only as P.B.B. and was arrested on Monday at Sao Paolo’s Congonhas airport.
The drugs were estimated to have been worth roughly $200,000.
The position of the police in such cases is “this too shall pass.” He will then stand trial on international drug trafficking charges.

Very good Gene!
This episode really does change the meaning of the phrase “full of blarney”.
Yikes! That is one “hungry” Irishman!
