Pot smoking case raises worrying questions about the regularity of drivers of dangerous goods trucks

Bugger the prunes...a fews snorts of this lot should get things moving.

No shit, Sherlock?

Dunno about that.

Alf gets the strong whiff of something fabricated in a hurry when he reads that a truck driver caught smoking cannabis behind the wheel of a 40-tonne dangerous goods truck says he took the drug to ease constipation.

According to a report at Stuff, this bloke was picked up by police in Blenheim after other motorists allegedly saw him using a bong while driving the rig down State Highway 1 in October.

Alf must confess he had not come across a bong before, and had to get Mrs Grumble to look it up. She tells him that among things, a bong is a water pipe for smoking marijuana, which explains why Alf is utterly unfamiliar with the word.
