Not just anywhere, “a few blocks from the White House” from some “South Africans”.

Who among us can say they’ve never come across the notorious South African Cigarette-lacers that plague DC with their free, cocaine-infused Marlboro’s.

It’s the stupidest story you’ll ever read.

I watched a seminar about lying and experts said liars often try to cloud their deception with weird details. I don't run into many South Africans, seems like a really strange thing to add to an already unbelievable crock.

Actually met 2 in my life. Company had me run them around to show them how intermodal transportation in Chicago worked. I'm one of the few people with access to all the rails since I've been a driver. Learned 3 very important Africa information bits that day: 1) Distances, we think we have far distances. There are places on the African Continent that dwarf the US. Johannesburg, SA to Cairo, Egypt 5600 miles. 2) Roads are tiny, not often larger than 2 lane 3) Trains are Euro Narrow Gauge, can't take the weight of US rails. Day was pretty well spent.

Sounds like an interesting day. And yes, heard the same, Africa is massive.

I mean that is like one tip of the continent to the other...Isnt that about the distance from Florida to Alaska?

Most Europeans are shocked by the distance across some states that are bigger than their countries. No one is driving from SA to Cairo

Believe it or not, that's a freight route, over some of the smallest, most dangerous roads in the world. That's why they were looking for intermodal solutions.

Maybe one of them was Trevor Noah?

That would explain a lot.

Bonus asshole points for Hunter blaming on a (likely) black guy.
