Stupid traveler stories from the Toronto Star


Speaking of baggage, I can't help but repeat these "extra baggage" bizarro nuggets from a sidebar in Canada's Toronto Star. Imagine sitting next to these people!

March 2004: Security officers at Logan airport in Boston stop a biologist after finding a severed seal's head in his luggage. The professor said he had found a dead seal and cut off its head to use for educational purposes.

March 2005: Kyiv airport officials confiscate two bears after a woman tries to smuggle them on board by claiming they were pet Alsatian puppies she wanted to take on holiday to Egypt with her.

June 2005: A smuggler on a flight from Africa who filled his pants with rare snakes is caught at Prague airport when customs officers spot them wriggling.

August 2006: A man is questioned after O'Hare Airport security officers discover a suspicious-looking object in his bag. He told security he had a bomb in his luggage because he didn't want his mother, standing nearby, to know it was a penis pump.

So...tell me...is that a snake in your pants or is that a snake in your pants? Get it?

I know you got it. Too damn funny!
