SYDNEY, Australia --Customs officers discovered nearly 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy sent to Australia from Ireland, the agency said Thursday.

Upon opening the parcel, the officers were greeted with the smiling face of the popular children's toy, which features a potato-like head and removable facial features. But when they removed a panel from the back of the toy, the officers found 10.34 ounces of ecstasy in a plastic bag.

"Whilst this is one of the more unusual concealments that we have seen in recent times, people need to be aware that Customs officers are alert to unusual and often outlandish methods of concealment," Customs Director Post Karen Williams said.

I promise that this is the last drug concealment story that I will post today.

6. The doll we brought across the border from Mex. was beheaded by Border Patrol

It was a horrific experience, to see them tear a doll's head off.

This is how we teach children respect for law enforcement! :rofl:

7. I'm reminded of an Onion article.

Headline was something to the effect of "Stoner's Model AT-AT was the First Place Cops Checked."
