The man was driving a truck when he arrived at the San Ysidro border crossing with Mexico on Feb. 25 and was pulled out for additional inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.

Agents found 52 live reptiles tied up in small bags “which were concealed in the man’s jacket, pants pockets, and groin area,” the statement said.

Nine snakes and 43 horned lizards were seized. Some of the species are considered endangered, authorities said.

He would have likely been more successful if he tried to smuggle crabs in. Many of our illegal alien invaders bring them in. 🙀

Sadly, true. My point though, was that I can’t imagine trying to sneak by with 52!

“...So I’m in the Border Patrol office, wanding this guy down, cause he was lookin kinda nervous, and then I start hearing belching noises, a long string of noises.. and the guy says; “Excuse Me Officer, I didn’t mean to burp. I just ate a bean burrito”.

I said, Oh, that’s okay, but only the ‘burping’ I”m hearing is not coming from your throat, it seems to be coming from the front of you, like below the belt, and from both sides all at once. Either you’re the best ventriloquist in the state of California, or you got some kind of critters in your pockets, now which is it?”

Man, we’re really slipping. I can’t believe it took until the sixth post for the first snake joke to appear (and it didn’t even refer to Anacondas). That headline was a gimme.

I also notice that we’ve been a little slow on the draw on the posting of “rules” photos, and especially the provision of emergency eye bleach. Next thing you know, people will start reading the articles before posting. Sometimes, I feel like I don’t even know you people anymore…
