A package of baby diapers yielded an unlikely load in Mexico on Friday, according to the defense ministry: nearly half a million dollars in cash.

Soldiers conducting a routine check "found in a tractor-trailer a packet of diapers containing 490,300 dollars," the ministry said in a statement.

It said that the cash was likely a stash of narco-dollars destined for money-laundering, as the truck had come from Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state in Mexico's northwest, a region known for trafficking by major drug cartels.

The driver of the truck was arrested.

Half a million dollars in cash and he couldn't bribe his way out of that?

So fucking what. The only thing out of the ordinary about that story is that it was in a diaper and not up somebody's ass...
