You never know what you might run into during the day, when you are getting getting to leave home.

It doesn't get much weirder than that, I think. Thanks to my obnoxious immigration officer at O'Hare who did what he could trying to trip me up so he might deny me entry despite my brand new visa, I didn't have time to look for the restaurant. But, I got my own back: He said: I see you are retired. what from? I replied: I used to be an immigration attorney! That shut him up and he couldn't stamp my passport fast enough. The immigration bit is of course not true, but it worked just fine.

Let's see, if he gets ten bucks for each one...
He'd make over a hundred bucks with just that one trip... Deduct the cost of his ticket and add in the per deim, and add a bit for the creep factor. I don't think the payoff's worth having to stand around with creepy crawlies all over him for the duration of the trip. Excuse me, I have to hop in the shower now.

That's crazy for somebody to bring a non-native animal there.

Wow, all I can say is that I am ever so glad I am not that custom officer that found the snakes and lizards taped to that guy... I think if that were the case he would have gotten away with it because all the other custom officers would have been too busy reviving me after I had fainted at the sight of the snakes ... Be well Naut :-) xoxo

Naut
If that had been in Florida they would perhaps found a way to justify shooting all animals and the man several times. They have ruined the Everglades, teams are daily shooting them and not getting a real head on them. Glad I was not on the plane I simply hate snakes with a passion beyond reason. People get tired of them and toss them and they have no predator here.

I read about this
on the Net. Thee were pictures of the guy carrying the shakes. He apparently told the customs officials, the reptiles were "pets". Unbelievable. Great post.
