Damn they found 24 22 kilos?
- 20 kilos, eh?
  
  We better report this 18kg to the authorities!
I might take up diving 🤔
Well, we did suspect there were packages of cocaine here. But turns out there wasn't any!
- “If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in the water,” Tracy Fanara, a Florida-based environmental engineer toldthe Guardian last year.

  Looking forward to summer blockbuster hit Cocaine Shark.
No thanks Nike. I won't "just do it."

Square grouper is a surprisingly common fish in Florida.
