[600 of them](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/man-caught-smuggling-600-deadly-cobras-into-thailand-8312936.html), in fact. 600 cobras caught being smuggled through Thailand from Malaysia.

The cop who pulled the truck over is shopping for new underwear.

Cat+Cobra…COBRA Dammit  
Cobra+Cat…CAT Nope, that didn’t work either.
