Krimo's Pigeon Flight...

A man was arrested for an alleged breach of quarantine rules after getting off a flight to Australia with two live pigeons in his trousers. Courtesy of BBC News
How long does it take to fly down under?
What about the droppings?
What about deep-vein thrombosis?











No wonder the price of a single pigeon breast has now reached 95p if people keep pinching them to take back to Australia.
Below is our supplier's latest price list!

I read about this, too. Hilarious! Do you think that he did it for a bet? I just love the Ozzie sense of humour!

You have to have a lot of humour to stick live pigeons down your socks...;o)

You have got to be kidding!

Honest, CR. It's a true story.

On ne badine pas avec les Australiens.

La faune et la flore du pays sont respectées et protégées par les hommes et les lois.

C'est une vraie histoire.
Je crois que les pigeons étaient rares.

He was going to Australia, but he could've been from anywhere, a Brit. too, you know what they say about British humour.

I don't understand why pigeons cost $$ when they fly free...look at all dem piggins in Trafalgar Square.

I can never think of pigeons without remembering a book, The Lonely Londoners by Samuel Selvon, a starving West Indian tried to catch on to eat. A li'l ol' lady whacked him with her brolly.
