“Jail Birds” or “Fly Birds Fly”

On Tuesday a man named Sony Dong was charged with smuggling exotic songbirds into the country from Viet Nam after being caught at LAX, hiding them in his pants. Inspectors became suspicious when they heard whistles and hooting, and that was just from women noticing the bulge in his pants.

If his plans were to sit the birds on his testicles, they weren’t good ones to hatch.

The birds themselves were assured witness protection in exchange for their testimony, whereupon they started singing like canaries.

Officials tried to remove the birds from the man’s pants without any injuries, so each time they reached in, they tried to avoid the pecker.

Mr. Dong had an accomplice in Orange County, who was also arrested. His name is Duc Le, and he is believed to be Dong’s wing man.

Dong has tried to smuggle similar birds before and either failed or been caught. So one thing is for sure; Mr. Dong should change his name.
