Cold Blooded Smuggling

Just a quicky, that caught my eye and amused me, which would sit rather nicely under one of TheEye’s “it could only happen in Amercia” type headings . . . .

It’s been reported, in the LA Times, that a would-be reptile smuggler was apprehended at LAX with more than a dozen live lizards strapped to his chest. The rather wriggly chest hair wig consisted of 2 geckos, 11 skinks and 2 monitor lizards (you’d think they’d have been keeping an eye out, wouldn’t you) Now, as if that wasn’t strange enough, what really tickled me was the reptilian accosting perp’s name.

Plank.
I kid you not.
Michael Plank.

Incidentally, this then led me on to think about an image of Lord Mandelsnake arriving at Heathrow with a selection of young . . . . .

Well, you can guess the rest.

Yes, I know I need to get out more 😉
