Can you guess.....heroin, pills, cigars, cocaine perhaps? No sir, the couple had hidden two live parrots inside a stuffed Elmo doll! The Elmo doll was X-rayed where they found the parrots. It's illegal to bring animals into the country due to the possibility they may have diseases. Elmo spent 3 days in a Mexican jail and wasn't released until he told authorities why Bert and Ernie have been sleeping in twin beds in the same room for 42 years.
