FAIL: British Woman Tries to Smuggle Drugs in Golf Clubs

PrintThe British tabloid The Sun (home of Page 3) has the story of Sussex woman Kayti Ella Dryer, who tried to smuggle drugs into Manchester airport inside of golf clubs.
What was the giveaway? She knew nothing about golf. Tell us, Constable!
An airport source added: "When asked about her handicap, she looked blank and asked them to repeat the question. It appeared as if she thought they were asking her if she had a disability."
So, then they figured that she wasn't carrying the clubs for a round at the Old Course.
They drilled into her kit to check for drugs and found £83,000-worth of cocaine had been painstakingly packed inside the shafts.
The case was resolved last week.
[Dryer] pleaded guilty to trying to smuggle a kilo of drugs into the UK at Manchester Crown Court last Thursday and was jailed for four years.
But, for the so inclined, here's a graphic with some other completely random ways to try to smuggle drugs.
Tell me again why the British keep beating us on standardized math tests?

I guess she never saw Beverly Hills Cop – she forgot the coffee grounds !
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Seriously – if you’re going to commit a crime that can land you in jail for the better part of a decade, at least have the decency to do the research. It’s due diligence!
