When I was a wee lass I took a snowball on a plane. We'd been visiting Scotland from Cape Town and I'd made a snowball which I wanted to take home. I guess these were the days before 3 hour check in times. We took the snowball to the airport, and the check in staff arranged to have it put in the plane's freezer. It was returned to us on disembarking. Sadly it never made it home from the airport - winter in Scotland = 30 degrees in South Africa.

Enough is enough.
I have had it with these mofo snakes on this mofo forum.

Pythons are OK, quite cuddly in their way. But 40 irritable black mambas would be a different matter.Originally posted by Pondlife View Post

Opening the overhead locker to get my laptop bag and finding 40 pythons that were no longer sedated would freak me the fu<k out.

Snakes on a plane
SnakeybeebylinkyIndonesian customs officials have arrested two men suspected of trying to take 40 snakes on to a flight to Dubai.
The two were about to enter the departure area at Jakarta airport when X-rays showed their bags were filled with sedated pythons, officials say.
