This time, Spokane, Washington is the locale; from Breitbart/Canadian Press.

A Washington state woman who hid a sedated monkey under her blouse on a flight from Thailand to Los Angeles – pretending she was pregnant – has been convicted of smuggling charges.

Twenty-nine-year-old Gypsy Lawson of Spokane successfully passed through U.S. Customs in Los Angeles with the rhesus monkey hidden in her shirt during a November 2007 trip.

That makes good sense there. I’m sure at one time or another, we’ve all thought of smuggling a rhesus monkey in to the country from Bangkok. But, how do you do it? The old pretending you are pregnant gambit. Nobody is going to question a pregnant woman. Everyone cuts a pregnant woman some slack. Good scam, not really yobworthy.

Her mother, 55-year-old Fran Ogren of Northport, Wash., accompanied her daughter on the flight from Bangkok and was also convicted.

A jury found the two women guilty Monday on separate charges of conspiracy and smuggling goods into the United States.

See, now that’s not a good idea there. A good monkey smuggling should be a one person operation. The more people involved, the more things can go wrong is the old truism amongst savvy monkey smugglers. And, the last person you want to put in to the hot zone is your own mother.

But, does that reach the yob standard?

I don’t know but, this surely does.

They were arrested after Lawson boasted to a clothing store clerk about the airport escapade.

Don’t go bragging about it when you are shopping.

Now, this joke has been told many times, in many ways by many people. But, the old jokes are the best.
