We know it's potentially disastrous from the CDC's standpoint, but, honestly, what sounds more fun than a little rhesus monkey smuggling? Alas, the activity caused some fuss when one women smuggled one of our primate cousins on a plane. Gypsy Lawson, 29, was able to elude customs officials by sedating a small rhesus monkey and carrying it under her blouse on a flight from Thailand to L.A. last year. She allegedly pretended she was pregnant on the plane, and successfully made it past U.S. Customs. Her 55-year-old mother was also on the flight from Bangkok, and the two would have gotten away with it if Lawson hadn't bragged about the exploit to a clothing store clerk afterward.
Now Lawson and her mom have been convicted of smuggling and conspiracy charges for the incident. The monkey has been moved to a primate rescue facility in Oregon.
As huge fans of "The State," we can only hope this Pacific Northwest compound has no history of monkey torture.

I thought the smuggling was irresponsible. The monkey could've been diseased or could've caused quite a stir on the plane if it had awoke. Im sure she wanted to take care of the little critter but it just wasn't meant to be. Did she see that Dustin Hoffman movie? I forgot the title.
