Motherfucking snakes, motherfucking plane, you know the deal

"Vietnam has seized more than a ton of ratsnakes found aboard a Vietnam Airlines flight from Bangkok, the second time in about a month such snakes were found in air cargo to Vietnam, state media said on Friday."

It's funny until you realize-a ton?! HOLY SHIT. I do NOT want to fly on that airline.

Now we know why it costs so much to fly. All those snakes take extra fuel. :)

At least there were likely no rats on the flight. I mean Snakes on a Plane taught us what to do with snakes on a, er, plane, but no one has made "Rats on a Plane" yet.

Where are 60 boxes of snakes going?

Why do you always have the weirdest air travel stories?

There must be a real rat problem in Vietnam if everyone's trying to sneak in ratsnakes. I can't even imagine what a ton of snakes would look like. And I'm kind of glad I can't.

I'm betting it had something to do with food or traditional medicine. But a ton? I wonder how many snakes even fit in a ton. But I'm not sure I want to know.

I think the part that gets me about that, other than 'more than a ton of ratsnakes' is 'second time in about a month'. EEEEEEP.
