I know in the grand scheme of things Kinder Surprise eggs are pretty small, but you know what’s even smaller? Your exit hatch. So the fact that now current Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre resident Damian O’Reilly seems to have set an unofficial record by managing to fit eight of them into his is, in its own way, almost as impressive as it is stupid.
O’Reilly figured the quickest way to get arrested would be to throw a rock at a police cruiser in front of the courthouse and, sure enough, he got the job done in minutes flat. It helped that he was already on probation, so when he was arrested, he was held for bail and shipped off to the old Innes Road jail.
And that’s where his plot unravelled.
It’s not known if the guard noticed O’Reilly was in some discomfort but whatever the reason, the guard had suspicions that O’Reilly might be smuggling drugs. The young inmate was escorted to dry cell No. 9. A dry cell has no plumbing and guards will either attempt to seize the contraband or wait for it to be expelled.
In this case, it was O’Reilly himself who, once alone in the dry cell, removed eight Kinder Surprise eggs from his rectum. A guard had to then collect the eggs and photograph them before securing them inside the Ottawa police drug safe at the jail.In all, the eight eggs contained 59 grams of marijuana, a gram of MDMA, tobacco, rolling papers and matches.
Earlier reports that O’Reilly *was* the drug safe are erroneous.
by the way, if Drug Safe isn’t his nickname by the time I hit publish on this, there’s something wrong with this world.
Anyway, O’Reilly pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and was sentenced to sit in jail for a year and some change, although standing may be more comfortable for a while.
As for the possible record mentioned above, he doubled it. The previous mark was set by an unidentified man in 2010 who only managed four, the friggin amateur.
What the hell is up with people from Ottawa? Seriously, ug!
I should be asking you. You’re the one who grew up there.
Hehehehe. At least my family doesn’t live *in* Ottawa.
But they live close enough that news could travel, or that perhaps they could do some sniffing around. We need to get to the bottom of this story.
Now I can’t watch Kinder Surprise ads without going “Eeeeewwwww!”
It’s true, she can’t. And of course there have been loads of them on TV since I posted this.
I’m trying to remember what the chocolate inside those things even tastes like. Is it any good? I didn’t have those a lot growing up.
The first paragraph is in no way related to the second, I should point out.
I don’t think I had them either. I remember hearing about them, but I don’t remember any of those toys being around.
I remember the toys being cheap plastic garbage that were just fun enough to keep a kid entertained for a bit, but I have no memory of the chocolate.
