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.

50 turtles in your pants is ok, but 51 is pushing it.

Looks like Kai got caught playing the old “Shell” game.
May West to Kai: “Are those turtles in your pants or are you just very happy to see me”?
Norman, in “Romancing the Stone”. “Look at them snappers!”
Andrew Dice Clay in “Ford Fairlane”. “Snapperhead”!

“Turtles in my pants” to the tune of the Doors’ ‘Riders on the Storm’.”
Turtles in my pants, Turtles in my pants;
Inside my pants they roam; into my shorts their thrown;
Like a frog made out of bone; a reptile out on loan;
Turtles in my pants...

As someone who stopped often at the Manistee river to get turtles off 612, I am not amused.
Those were our turtles, correct? Jerk.

For his sake, I hope they weren't snapping.
I thought only women smuggled snappers.
