Ssssssssstupid!

Snakes on a Plane was a really bad movie. Snakes on a bridge is a really bad idea….when that bridge crosses an international border.

Customs officials aren’t usually surprised when they catch someone trying to smuggle things across the bridges between WNY and Canada. But how’d you like to be the inspector at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge who caught a guy with FOUR POISONOUS SNAKES hidden in the lining of his jacket? “Do you have anything to declare….and what’s that rattle I hear?” The guy also had six tree frogs….because you know, snakes get hungry.

So why did he try to slither across the border? There was this reptile show and he didn’t have the proper paperwork to carry the creatures legally. The permit, by the way, would have cost $60. He was fined a thousand bucks. The snakes and frogs were confiscated. The smuggler was released. We hope he realizes he’s lucky he was busted and not bitten.
