This time the invention was an outdated standby theme popularized in films: snakes on a aircraft! Effectively, it was one 4-foot boa constrictor to be precise. And technically, it by no means made it to the aircraft. Nonetheless, it is intriguing.
“Our officers … did not discover this hyssssssterical! Coiled up in a passenger’s carry-on was a 4′ boa constrictor! We actually don’t have any adder-ation for locating any pet going by means of an x-ray machine.”
The puns — and admonishments — did not cease there.
“Do you’ve got asp-rations of taking a snake on a aircraft? Do not get upsetti spaghetti by not understanding your airline’s guidelines. For example, airways do not enable nope ropes in carry-on luggage and only some enable them to slither round in checked luggage, if packaged appropriately.”
Farbstein mentioned that the “TSA notified the airline that the girl (with the carry-on) was ticketed to fly on and the airline didn’t allow the snake on the aircraft.”
