Customs
Based on two real cases:
At the airport if you are caught smuggling 400g of cocaine in your shoes you are sentenced to 7 years in prison. But if you are caught smuggling out of the country 40(!) endangered species (in this case reptiles) in your suitcase (of which half of them die due to being mistreated) you get 18 months. Does that seem pretty low to anyone?
ION my students have given me their lurgy, which means I've been home the last two days watching slapstick comedies (as that was only what my brain could handle) and time to look at shelters.
John and I are getting dog (just the one... so he thinks). It's hard enough looking at websites without wanting to adopt them all. God knows what it'll be like when we're inside the shelters. I'll probably need to be on my own lead. I melt when I look at their little eyes. And some are just funny. I mean this one doesn't even look like a dog...
I can see how he could be entertaining, however, whilst quite cute we are looking for someone who perhaps is a tad more butch.
Plus I need someone who, when I'm being a decoy, I can trust to slide like a ninja into the flat upstairs and scare the bejesus out of the noisy, stomping f*ckers.
