#1 Mexico has a Navy? Who knew!

#2 In Acapulco many years ago the Mexican Navy guys used to clear the beach of drug dealers every evening at sundown. They were a seriously mean-looking bunch of sailors. Dressed in spotless white uniforms, every one of them had a Colt auto in 38 Super strapped to their side, a really hefty club in their off hand, an absolutely blank, totally unsmiling game face on.

The druggies would just get a glimpse of the Navy coming down the beach and would vanish inland muy pronto, sometimes in such a rush that they would leave . . . . stuff behind.

When the anti-drug sweep was finished, up would pull a spotless Navy truck driven by another mean looking sailor. They'd all pile in and depart for another beach.

Maybe they all looked that mean because they were in the Mexican Navy, maybe because they were serious military, maybe because they were born that way. Anyway, the whole operation was impressive to a much, much younger Canuckistan sniper.

#3 So, after screwing up their ambush, they fled back to their hideout rather than scattering?

Genius.
