Squeamish

Normally, I appreciate when someone puts forth their full effort on a mission.

The jury is still out on this one.  Actually, I am cringing a little.

On the 8th of this month, a U.S. citizen driving a truck across the San Ysidro border crossing was caught attempting to smuggle 52 reptiles from Mexico into the U.S.

The live reptiles, 9 snakes and 43 lizards, were not hidden in his truck.  The critters, according to customs agents, were in bags concealed within the man’s jacket, pants pockets, and groin area.

I am generally not squeamish about snakes and lizards, but on this I make notable exception.
