Ever wonder how middle-aged I-banker icon Jimmy Buffett always manages to keep it so chill? How he looks as though he could strum a ukelele, pilot a low-range chopper, and belly-rub a manatee–all at the same time? Well, now you know:

Forget Margaritaville – French authorities reportedly seized more than 100 tabs of club drug “ecstasy” from Jimmy Buffett’s luggage this week.

The Grammy-winning singer got into trouble when he flew into Toulon-Hyères International Airport in the South of France on a rented private jet and customs officials started poking around in his suitcases. According to local press reports, they uncovered more than 100 tablets of the mind-bending substance.

This is a big embarrassment for old Jimmy, so if you happen to see him this weekend down in the South of France, give him a hug. Just be aware that he might want to hug you back for approximately 14 to 16 hours.
