Let the man sell his bologna

So I got an email from my buddy Devan today about a Mexican man trying to enter the US with some unauthorized bologna

It seems the feds were really concerned about this guy. Just putting aside the fact that he was transporting meat in unrefidgerated suitcases let's look at this quote for a second...

"The agency said the man stood to make a hefty profit."

I mean come on. Let's see...80 rolls of bologna at $8.

So we can figure he has already put out about $640.

Let's say he sells them for about $30 a piece (although I don't know who buys $30 worth of Bologna at once) for a total of $2400.

Maybe he comes away with about $1800, maybe!

Let the man sell his friggin bologna, buyer beware. If you are buying bologna on the side of the road from a suitcase, maybe you deserve what you get. Let this man make a buck and feed his family.

But he really should try to keep it cold while he's smuggling his bologna.

Just my thoughts.
