Is That a Turtle in Your Pants, or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

A Chinese-Canadian man exiting the US has been stopped at the Canadian border with 51 turtles stuffed down his pants. They were presumably headed ultimately to China. (The turtles, not the pants, although probably the pants too.)

There was a big shellebration at the Canada Border Services Agency.

When they asked him if he had anything to declare, he replied:

“It’s turtles all the way down.”

Well, someone had to say it.

I see your turtle-pants and raise you one woman with a potato growing in her vagina.

That silly girl! Everyone knows you put durian in your vagina to prevent pregnancy.

They tried doing it like a cattle drive, but it was taking forever.

So he had 52 turtle-heads in his pants, then?

“You’ve seen one, you’ve seen 'em all.”
“Yeah, but this one’s eating my lettuce!”

Did they catch him because he had a turtle-head poking out?

I saw that story on local news…they were actually taped to his legs.

What I don’t get is why so much subterfuge? Red sliders and box turtles are so common here, and easy to catch. I know several places where one could scoop them up in the wild by the dozen for free, and I see them for sale for $1.99 at local pet stores. Why are they worth as much as $800 on the black market?
