Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. And sometimes we like to throw in a funny headline and a hundred extra words for good measure. This is one of those times.
According to the AP, these legs belong to an Australian traveler who was caught with two live pigeons (and a little something else!) stuffed in his pants following a trip to the Middle East...
The 23-year-old man was searched after authorities discovered two eggs in a vitamin container in his luggage, said Richard Janeczko, national investigations manager for the Customs Service
They found the pigeons wrapped in padded envelopes and held to each of the man's legs with a pair of tights, according to a statement released by the agency.
But that's not all! [Cue Law & Order-esque detective music.] They also found seeds in his money belt (the pigeons need to eat, man!) and...
...an undeclared eggplant.
It's official. This Australian aubergine and avian animal smuggler has rendered us speechless.
