Passenger Tries to Smuggle 56-Pound, 4-Foot Long Squash into the UK
 

Customs officers at Birmingham Airport made an unusual discovery yesterday. A passenger transiting from Bangladesh into Britain was in possession of a 4-foot long, 4-stone (56-pound) giant squash.

If you need a good laugh, check out the picture of an environmental health worker standing next to the squash.

Lol. It's definitely bigger around than she is. I can understand the cigarettes, but why the squash...

OK, that's even bigger than the block of cheese disguised as a baby that Lucy tried to smuggle home.

The size of that! I wonder if they bought it a seat?

That's a first!
(I have seen people parallel trade heavy objects both into the UK and into the mainland, but not this.)

I thought that was a salami not a cheese...?

As well as the squash, the smugglers were caught sneaking in 175lb (79kg) of fish and 94,000 cigarettes from Bangladesh


Great googly moogly...was this some sort of cargo shipment?

Also found in the illegal haul were 2,000lb (907kg) of betel leaves, a mild stimulant popular on the Indian sub-continent, where it is commonly chewed or smoked.

Ok, had to be cargo shipment....betel leaves....ah the memories.

there goes the squash quota for the rest of the year
 

I still think it is harder to sneak a cantaloupe into California than to bring a bible into North Korea.

Looked at the photo. What squash? All I saw was the pretty lady. :D

For some reason, this sprung to mind...
