US Customs picked me for a shakedown, found the eggs, gave me a really hard time but let me keep them.

we have these in the UK, the idea is not to give 'em to kids that are too young! Titch is seven.

Thank God the UK govt. credits its citizens with some common sense *sigh*

BryonyConstantine: not so in the US

sad, but true.

the problem isn't that we don't have common sense, but we're too eager to cash in on misfortune with lawsuits. If non-American did something

that dumb, they'd be to embarrassed to tell everybody. But an American would start suing everybody involved.

wow, that's just crazy!

Exactly...the UK started getting ambulance chaser law firms advertising on TV in the late 90s. Lawyers are the ones who profit!

shakes head. you can get nonchildproof pill bottles if you're willing to swear there are no children on your block

we've got a situation in the UK where parents & grandparents need the other parents' permission just to video their kids...

in school plays...the world's going barmy!

ninbroken52: my time with the customs agent was surreal. I think she was supposed to confiscate the eggs but didn't want to.

ninbroken52: mmm, Legos...

Bureaucratic inanity.

*kerfluffle*

at this rate, we're all going to be criminals of one kind or another....

OH NO NOT THE GUMMY BEARS?! www.laymark.com/i/m/m077... National Sweet Security is doomed!!!

indeed

hmm.. over here, no one cares, choking hazards or not following building codes, for a small payoff they'd look the other way.

genea: send the tasty choking hazards to me!
