ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - A Canadian man caught at a border crossing with 51 turtles taped to his body pleaded guilty Tuesday to smuggling or attempting to smuggle more than 1,000 of the reptiles out of southeastern Michigan.
Kai Xu, 27, would order turtles online and travel to the U.S. to pick them up and then ship them to China or return with them to Ontario, Canada. He pleaded guilty to six crimes in federal court in Ann Arbor and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

“Turtles in my pants” to the tune of the Doors’ ‘Riders on the Storm’.
Hope they were Joyful Tortoises.
I hate it when foreigners sneak in with communicable diseases.
This is a new one. Watch out ladies. You don’t want to catch a bad case of the turtles.
No husband or boyfriend is going to believe they’re just birthmarks.
Those green guys really stand out. And imagine the shocked look your guy will have, if he’s running his hand down there and runs into a snapper or two.
Wish one of them was Mitch McConnell.
Imagine if he played Twister.
Come on now, how many of us haven’t done the same thing; smuggling turtles into Canada? Anyone? Anyone?
We’re hot on the trail of turtles.
Terrorists?
Not so much...
Sounds like they were ending up in Chinese soup bowls.
Yes, odd, unexplained wriggling lumps everywhere they shouldn’t be...
Turtles or turdles?
They can’t farm these things out? Or am I missing something?
The dead one?
>>“Turtles in my pants†to the tune of the Doors’ ‘Riders on the Storm’.<<
Turtles in my pants
Turtles in my pants
Feels like they’re ants
Makes me want to dance
Like a frog in underwear
It feels strange down there
Turtles in my pants
They are starting now to roam
I thought their shells were all their home
Walk slowly now all day
I can feel those suckers play
If you let these turtles ride
They will snap you ‘till you cry
They are starting now to roam
YEAHHH....
Any of them that get taken out of the US.
Sounds like a case for Zack and Mack:
I was kind of thinking the same thing, like maybe one the turtles latched onto something it was never meant to latch onto. I mean, are border agents competent enough to find 51 turtles taped to the dude?
BRAVO!!!! Thanks for the laugh =)
