Travelin' With Crocs

You know, we've already warned you to leave your squirrels and crocodiles at home when you're traveling. But some people just don't listen.

Last week a woman in the Middle East tried to cross the border from Egypt into the Gaza Strip, heading for Israel, when guards decided to search her because her body was an unusual shape. What, we hear you ask, made her body such a strange shape? Well, of course, it was the three crocodiles she'd strapped to her torso.

Somehow they were still alive (and so was she), but she didn't get to fulfil her plan of selling them to a zoo in Israel--they got sent back to Egypt. Unbelievable as we think this is, we find ourselves forced to repeat our "travel safe" message: leave your crocodiles at home. Please.
