customs

Last night my friend was telling me about some books he had ordered online. His order had been delayed because of a customs problem. The books had been printed in Canada. The printer shipped a large order across the border. They were all role-playing game books. There were some books in the shipment that had to do with demons and devils. Customs didn't like this and the shipment ended up being delayed for about a week.

What?! First of all, they were game books, as in, here are some nasty creatures that you and your friends can fight and destroy using dice and pencils. Second of all, did they think there was some kind of threat to the safety of the nation? Oh no! they're going to send demons to enslave the president!

He didn't find out how it ended. I suspect that they finally got word from their superiors that they were idiots and should let it go through.

*L*

I hope the superior walked up behind them and slapped them upside the backs of their heads. Ridiculous!
