grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Customs at Narita Please can you open that bag so we can take a look inside. OK. What's this? Some magazines. [There were 3 magazines in a WHSmiths bag] What are they for? Er, reading. How much are they worth? About 700 yen each I guess. And what's this? A cake. [it looks like... a cake] What's it for? Er, eating. Is it for you? Yes. It's my favourite cake, a Battenburg. How much is it worth? About 500 yen perhaps. And how about this? Cheese. What's it for? Eating. For who? Er, me. How much was it? About 800 yen I reckon. What is this? Horlicks. So what is that? A drink. Just add milk. It's yummy. Is it for you? Yes. Everything in the bag if for me. Why are you bringing these things? Because I want to consume them! What else have you got in the bag? Some CDs and DVDs. Are they yours? Yes. Not someone elses? Er, no. How much? I don't know, just a collection of my cds and dvds. Any explosives or other naughty things on this list? [shows me list] No. OK. All this time about 20 people behind me getting increasingly annoyed, but not quite as tired and annoyed by this silliness as me. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I always laugh when they ask if you have any explosives or drugs in your bag, cos I'm sure the people that do, own up straight away!! Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I had a very similar conversation with a customs guy recently. ...Eventually it came to this: "What's this?" "Er... Condoms." That was pretty much the conversation stopper, there. He let me go pretty qick after that. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Stopped once and I had a bag of white powder in my case. He took a snif and let me go. Phew!!! Link to post Share on other sites

IIIII 2 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Announcements, usually on local tv, where any number of people say the same thing - all almost totally expressionlessv and robotically - all at the same time. Sometimes 10+ people. That cracks me up. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 that is also really really annoying. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 that would be very encouraging. Go for it. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It isn't just the announcements though that really is naff. All the expressionless hand movements and body actions are hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites
