Tunnelling to nowhere

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/07/21/border.tunnel/index.html

So you spend 8 months digging a tunnel over a football field long. You reinforce it with rebar and concrete. You put light and ventilation in. It's a business venture - you're gonna smuggle drugs *under* the border.

The day that you finish the tunnel, you pop the bubbly, you slap around a few high-fives... and end up in handcuffs cause the cops were watching you THE WHOLE TIME!! They put CAMERAS IN YOUR TUNNEL TO WATCH YOU!!

I have to admit to laughing my ass off when this story came down - much the same way, I'm sure, that the cops, FBI and whoever else in law enforcement was involved, laughed at these poor slobs for probably 6 or 7 months.

"Hey dude!! We're so brilliant!" says Doofus #1. "Tunneling *under* the border!"
Doofus #2 says, "Oh yeah... no one will be suspicious of all the cement, wood, rebar, and shovels we're buying. Those cops are so stupid!"

You have to know that the other guys in prison are going to laugh hysterically at them and make their lives hell... which, really, is no more than they deserve. *grin*
