Back inthe mid 80’s I had gone to Cancun for a few days. While on the Beach I found a Big Conch Shell that had a Clam shell attached to it. I brought it back home as Carry On in My bag in the Overhead Bin. Well about halfway to DFW that Clam DIED AND THAT PUPPY STANK NASTY NASTY NASTY!!! I played stupid for the rest of the flight.
Coming through Customs I had everything ready, they looked in My bag, zipped it back up and told Me to GET OUTTA HERE, FAST.
