\nAnother FB post from Mental Floss<\/a> made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. It’s a post about animals that are illegal on planes, however, some people just don’t get it.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFirst there was the fellow who tried to take his pet turtle on a plane by hiding it in a hamburger bun. Slow food at its best or maybe at its worst. I have to feel sorry for the turtle.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnother hummer was the Dutch fellow who tried to smuggled a dozen live hummingbirds sewn into the seams of his pants. Can you imagine sitting beside anyone like this on a plane? Again, I  have to feel sorry for the birds.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFortunately, the person who tried to smuggle 206 pounds of caterpillars (dried) on board, did not try to disguise them as hot dogs. <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Fast Food<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\nBeing sloshed took on a whole different meaning, when the authorities confiscated $31,000.00 worth of tropical fish that where concealed in 15 plastic bags under a woman’s skirt. It was the sloshing sound of the water, when she walked that tipped them off – gotta give her credit for inventiveness \ud83d\ude42 If you remember when crinolines were popular – just think of what you could conceal in those nets!!<\/div>\n

\nWhen is a brooch a beast – when it is being smuggled. A chameleon was almost smuggled as a hair clip until it flicked its tongue – more points for inventiveness or stupidity – hmmm.<\/p>\n

Finally in the slow animal category there was the passenger who tried to smuggle 4 rare birds and 50 rare orchids in his suitcases. They also found a pair of slow lorises<\/a> in his underwear.  These animals are actually quite venomous – more points for stupidity.<\/p>\n

Have an exciting day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
