Despite heavy promotion the "thriller" movie Snakes on a Plane pretty much bombed at the box office. After all, the premise was just so undeniably stupid...getting snakes onto a plane, the snakes getting loose and terrifying the passengers. First of all, nobody on earth would be stupid enough to transport a large number of snakes by plane. And they CERTAINLY wouldn't do it in carry-on luggage. Well, nobody other than Yahia Rahim Tulba...hard to believe this smuggling genius got caught.
Now, I am no smuggler, nor do I portray one on tv. However, considering some of the past animal smugglers that have gotten caught, I think I can safely say I will never be caught smuggling animals by any of the following catch-phrases:
"Ma'am, I hear splashing coming from your legs. Please lift your skirt so I can catch you smuggling fish on your thighs."
"Ma'am, I hear flapping. Please remove your coat so I can catch you smuggling parrots at your waist."
"Sir, you luggage seems to be wriggling. Please open it so I can catch you smuggling snakes in your carry-on."
The one way they might catch me is, "Sir, I hear trumpeting. Please remove your hat so I can catch you smuggling an elephant on your head."
