IMS does this have anything to do with your Mexico adventure? The one you don't remember very well?

WOAI-TV

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - Ever on the lookout for drugs, guns and money, customs agents at a South Texas international bridge crossing busted 191 units of an unusual sort of contraband - hermit crabs. A 49-year-old man was crossing back into the United States at the Hidalgo Port of Entry when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found a box full of live hermit crabs inside his vehicle and another bag of the crabs in the trunk, according to an agency statement Tuesday. The 191 crabs taken in the Nov. 30 bust were given to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the man was issued a $1,910 fine for not declaring the crabs.

We have to import a case of crabs now? Talk about outsourcing.

Yeah, I had a couple realtives do that - but won't say who. It was years ago. The parrot got out of the cage this side of the border, bit one of them and he grabbed it by its neck to get it off taking a few feathers out in the process. The parrot then got out an open window. They only lost $10 and one fingernail. Laughing
