I have always suggested we get into the smuggling business, this might be where I get a promotion and get a ship on the Chinese coast.





When you cut the tape off the sword's box with a boxcutter did you announce "Look at me everybody! I'm slicing!" gleefully?

You should see some of the smuggling service members do to get goodies into overseas stations and souvenirs ***cough*** cuban cigars ***cough*** and other assorted stuff back into the country. Nothing bad, just stuff that wouldn't necessarily be allowed.



"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

i work shipping/receiving and there are many things you can do legally that are still sorta fibs in order to get things through customs. i make up fake item costs all the time simply because it would take far too long to do the research as to how much random things cost to manufacture and/or retail.

I'm in India right now.


They sell Cuban cigars in the hotel gift shop.


You think I'll be smuggling on my voyage back to the States tonight?


Oh, yeah, baby... oh, yeah.
