    Always check your socks, folks. You may end up with 3,000 tarantulas in them and not even realize until it’s too late.

    If it turns out, you do this in a plane I’m in, you are leaving it before we get to or even near any airport.

    Why were the tarantulas wearing smugglers socks?

      And how did they divide 3,000 by 8?

      Edit: no wait… that would be 24,000 socks. I need some sleep.

        To make it worse: 3000 is easily divisible by 8 : ). As in, there’s no remainder.

    That must’ve been an exiting day in customs.

      Unsure if that was intentional or a Freudian slip, but I’m sure there were many who wanted to exit after discovering scores of tarantulas.
