A Lighter Note

I don't know why, but I love this story from The New York Times:

"Long before there were snakes on a plane, there were leopards in a carry-on, and monkeys down a pair of pants, according to a federal indictment handed up on Monday in Southern California."

It seems that Chris Mulloy, of Palm Springs, has been charged with illegally importing two leopard cats (I'm no biologist, but I don't think they are the same as leopards) in his hand baggage. Mulloy was turned in by his alleged confederate, Robert Cusack, who was caught after "Federal agents were tipped off to some unusual happenings when large birds of paradise came flying out of his luggage...."

You can't make this stuff up.
