""During the search customs officers became suspicious after hearing 'flipping' noises coming from the vicinity of her waist,"

LOL! That's a very funny line.

[The Mike Device]

Could be worse. She could have swallowed 15 water filled condoms with fish inside.

Propriety prevents me from making the smart aleck comment that first came to mind upon reading this article

[makoman]

Kinda makes you want to eat a tuna melt!

[snarks_when_bored]

It always smells like fish, officer!

So there she is, perched in her airplane seat with fish under her apron! When she landed, she couldn't figure out what customs agents were carping about. I understand salmon gave her a roughy time about it, though. It must have cut her down to her sole.

Holy mackerel! Something must have smelt.

[Criminal Number 18F]

OK, put down the puns and step away from the keyboard...

[Fog Nozzle]

The baggage handlers did it.

You're floundering, hr.

Carp Diem or Crappie Diem?

But while they were trying to seal her, she hit them with a sucker punch.

She tried to bribe them with a fin, but the groupers were too many for her. She at least wanted to have her peanut butter and jelly fish sandwich, but they threw her in the tank.

For the halibut.

If convicted of smuggling wildlife, she faces a fine of up to U.S. $83,617 and could also get a prison sentence of up to 10 years.

Ten years for carrying fish in Australia, but Bill Clinton committed 15 felonies here in America and didn't get jack. Don't let anybody fool you into thinking there is justice in this nation.

[John Valentine]

Should be 20 years.

[speedy]

Very koi, m8, but there was no way this woman could mussle her way out of this.

Now there's a sentence you don't read every day.

"I minnow scent, your honor."

[SlowBoat407]

Once they became eel at ease, they decided to striper down. What a shark they must have gotten when they flounder illicit cargo!

[hispanarepublicana]

I ain't squid of you.
