Texas DPS Troopers Responsible for Houstonites Having Worst 4/20 Ever

Earlier this week, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers stumbled upon a mammoth marijuana shipment bound for Houston. Officers stopped the tanker truck that was carrying the stash during a routine traffic check in Jim Hogg County, perhaps because of the vehicle's "fictitious markings." They were probably shocked to discover that the truck contained nearly 9,000 pounds of weed. The driver, Reynaldo Hovey Jr of South Texas, now faces federal drug possession charges. All told, the shipment was valued at roughly $4.5 million, making it one of the biggest seizures by the DPS.

Houstonites? Do you mean Houstonians?

Either way that is the greatest headline ever! Good work Allen.

I believe "Houtstoners" is the proper demonym for this headline.

Goddamn you sean. You owe me a fresh cup of coffee to replace the one that I just spit upon my lap. Maybe some pants too.

Why not just cut to the chase and call them Assholes.
