| Trouser Snake Smuggler |
| 2003-09-24 |
| An alleged wildlife smuggler tried to enter Australia with eight snakes, including four highly venomous king cobras, strapped to his legs. The man was stopped by customs officials at Sydney Airport after arriving from Thailand. "Is that a snake in your pants, or are you just happy to be in Sydney?" The cobras are believed to have died during the nine-hour flight but four non-venomous emerald tree boas survived. Dammit, missed a Darwin Award by that much. Swedish national Per Johann Adolfsson, 28, was arrested on Monday night and was refused bail in Sydney’s Central Local Court yesterday after being charged under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act. Customs officials said the snakes had been stuffed into socks, then put into stocking-style bags, which were then strapped to the man’s calves. "Is that a snake in your sock.........Oh, never mind |

| #3 "Is that a snake..." Ya ever see those stupid Viagra ads where the guy walks into the office or party and everybody's asking him stupid questions like: "Hey, Bob, new haircut?" "Hey, Bob, did you lose weight?" etc. How come they don't come out and ask him the real question in that situation: "Hey, Bob, what's with the 2x4 in your pants?" |
