What would Popeye say?


I think Popeye the Sailor Man would probably be apoplectic about an incident in New Mexico.

Police with the New Mexico Motor Transportation Division found 1,200 pounds of pot packed in cans labeled as spinach during a stop at the Gallup port of entry. An inspector noticed that only a few of the cans were labeled and that the weight printed on the side of the can didn't match the actual weight.




A closer look during last Friday's bust revealed the canned drugs, which were worth an estimated $1.5 million.


Popeye's famous theme song ran:

I'm Popeye the sailor man!
I'm Popeye the sailor man!
I'm strong to the finich,
'Cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the sailor man.


Seems to me the third and fourth lines might need to be re-written in the light of this discovery. How about it, readers? Let's hear your suggestions in Comments.
