Apparently I’ll be assisting shortly with my magnifying glass, provided I haven’t turned into a drawing of clockwork gears.

I’m sure that’ll make your customs declarations much less interesting on the way back. Just don’t take the complimentary apples.

I had this happen, sort of, when i visited Sweden. On my way back i was offered bottled water on the plane. When going through customs i was reprimanded for having water in my luggage… that the airline gave me. Thankfully i wasn’t given too much grief over it but i recall finding the situation really stupid.

You’re lucky, never forget it could’ve been a $500 reprimand

Apparently there aren’t a lot of poorly contrived biologist stock photos. This was the best/worst I could find.

Yeh i recall that bit of news, i imagine the customs worker must’ve been having a bad day and maybe the lady gave them attitude? Sometimes shit like this happens to certain people for a reason, the guy that chided me wasn’t much of a dick about me having the water and i have totally forgotten i even had it.

Also going through security later i also forgot i had the card game “Exploding Kittens” in my luggage, which was also found by a TSA screener and i profusely apologized for it. I think the main reason she didn’t make an issue out of it was because i had some other odd stuff in my luggage like toilet candy (seriously)

After the initial confusion with the cards she seemed more amused than anything.

I am torn…

This one is awful, because I have never coded while sitting on the side of an abandoned highway. Not very ergonomic.

on the other hand while I bad image in many ways…this is exactly how I have often felt!!!
