The title says it all, really. I just happened to run across [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040408/ap_on_fe_st/hidden_cocaine&e=5) and thought it was too funny not to point out. Easier than stuffing it up his ass, I guess. ---

Something similar happened at a WV prison not too long ago, only it was a visitor, and the contraband was a gun in her vagina. That had to be a _BIG_ vagina. I wonder if Auntie Em knows any prisoners in West Virginia … ---

Never heard of it with prisoners before, but I’ve certainly heard the stories of overweight people having strange xrays at the hospital that turned out to be from change and even a tv remotes being stuck in rolls of fat. ---

I am sooo glad I am not a prison guard. “O.K. prisoner 661253, lift up that roll and let me check it out, now the next one, now turn around and bend over.” ---

Good lord, wouldn’t you FEEL it? I’m not overweight, so the best thing I can compare it to is a wedgie-- I feel it until I fix it. How do you not notice a remote control stuck in your flesh rolls? ---

That guy reminds me of a Dick Tracy character from the 1960s, “The Pouch.” He was a criminal who was very fat, then lost weight. After his weight loss, he was left with all this loose skin, so he had plastic snaps surgically installed and would hide weapons in these pockets of skin.
