I know this may lead to juvenile attempts at humor (snicker) but lets discuss with the seriousness it deserves. It's a slow news day.
Gives new meaning to the phrase, "ya wanna play with my lizard."
I'm sorry.

“Is that an iguana in your pants or are you just glad to see me?”
"In My Prosthetic Leg" would be a good name for their debut album.
Iguana smuggled in braA young iguana is enjoying its new home at Blackpool Zoo after being smuggled into the country in a bra.
An eagle-eyed police officer at Blackpool International Airport stopped a Russian woman after spotting that something was "moving" inside her dress.
During a search by a female security guard the iguana peeked out from the top of her bra.
Hey Boortz read a story of a lady who was smuggling an iguana in her bra when she flew. I guess where you go iguana go too?
Oh heck. The story says he smuggled out a handful of (presumably baby) iguanas back in ‘02. They nabbed him when he put four up for sale and said he was apparently running a breeding program. So they’re going to put the seized lizard in an official breeding program.
I say we should be congratulating this guy for his enterpreneurial acumen. If they’d simply let him go on about his business he might well have taken the species off the endangered list at no cost to any taxpayer. For those who know, it was private ranching not official “protection” in Florida that saved the gator and similar ventures in Australia that saved the “saltie,” lowering the price of the critters’ skins and meat and undercutting the profits of poaching.

Helpful hint for iguana moving and transport.
(No,........really.)
They can’t do anything about 20 MILLION criminals who were smuggled into the US, but they go all out to nail Peg Leg Pete and a couple of lizards.

Are you happy to see me or is that an iguana in your pants?
Oh my goodness. You post an article about a guy smuggling iguanas in a prosthetic leg and you don’t want jokes about it?
Heh.
Hey, I don’t think they’re juvenile attempts at humor at all. Every comment so far has made me laugh.
Then again, I dunno, maybe I’m a juvenile.
They caught him when he went to “drain the lizard.”
He should have purchased the lizards legally by credit card through authorized brokers:
“VISA - It’s Everywhere Iguana Be”
Guess this was The Night of the Iguana. (groan)
