You Just Can’t Get A Head in the United States

Filed under: Security, The World — Posted by Irony Queen on February 11th, 2006


For all of those immigrants looking to get a head in the United States, this just in: you can’t. At least not without filling out the proper customs forms.

“US immigration officials have arrested a Haitian woman after baggage screeners found a human head in her luggage at a Florida airport.
Myrlene Severe, 30, has been charged with failing to declare the head on a customs form and transporting “hazardous material”.”

Severe explained that she had obtained the human head to use in her voodoo beliefs, to ward off evil spirits.

Ironically, she failed to bring along the body part used to ward off nosy customs agents.

Any guess what part that would be?
