After
visiting Ben, Wayne continued his journey heading
to a tropical island.
He now has just arrived at the airport on the island.
While on his way to the customs counter,
and to reclaim his
baggage, he hears an announcement saying "due
to a technical problem, the passenger who finds a
bag of plant material is required
to report to the
customs officials".
Wayne:
(mummering to himself) A bag of plant material? What are
they trying to say? Wicked country......Or
a bag of weed? Don't know which drongo would
be so honest to tell the customs officials "I've got
a bag of suspicious plant
material".
After
having passed through the customs check, and fetched his
baggage, then before going
straight to the quarantine counter, Wayne, because
of the announcement, double checks his luggages, and
then he finds a plastic bag with herbs inside which
he can't recognise.....
Wayne:
(mummering to himself again) Where on earth is it from? You
gotta be kidding me, Ben. This joke has gone to far, mate.
What should I do? Dump it right away, or report it to a
customs officer?
While
pondering what to do, Wayne has approached the
quarantine counter.
Quarantine
Officer:
Good day, sir. How are you doing? Your boarding
pass and passport, please.
Wayne:
Good, thanks. (Wayne worriedly passing the boarding pass
and passport)
Quarantine
Officer: So, it's flight SUX 217.
Well, due to a technical problem, I'm sorry sir. We
have to check all the baggage of this flight. So, please
put all your baggage onto the belt.
After
the baggage has been X-rayed...
Quarantine
Officer: Do
you have any goods that you didn't claim?
Wayne:
Well.... actually..... there is one thing I didn't claim,
though I found it in my luggage.
(Wayne shows the bag.) But it's not mine.
Quarantine
Officer: You found it in your luggage. Then why
do you say it's not yours?
Wayne:
Because I didn't put it in my luggage.
Quarantine
Officer: Then why was it in your luggage?
Wayne:
I don't know. All right, let me make it clearer. After I
got off the board, I heard the announcement. So I checked
my bag after I got it. Then I found this plastic bag, which
is in your hand now, in my bag. And I don't know where on
earth it is from. Neither do I know what that is in the bag.
What do you think are the herbs inside?
Quarantine
Officer: Marijuana probably.
But we need to do further examination.
Wayne:
Marijuana! But it's not mine. Don't try and put one over
me! I didn't come down in the last
shower.
Quarantine
Officer: Excuse me, sir? You didn't take a shower?
Wayne:
No! That's a metaphor. Anyway, look, sir, I
make no bones about my bag. But now, you're implying
that I bring a bag of hemp into
your country. What is this --- bush
week?
When
Wayne is arguing with the officer, another quarantine
officer with a sniffer
beagle approaches and says...
Quarantine
Officer: Can I see that bag?
After he checked
the bag...
Quarantine
Officer: Ah here is the package. It's the test package
which I have been looking for.
Wayne:
It's your test package? So you are the one who put it in
my luggage.
Quarantine
Officer: Yes, sir. I put it in your luggage so I could
test my beagle's ability.
Wayne:
That's brilliant. What a real-life test, isn't it. Good.
Quarantine
Officer: I am sorry to cause any inconvenience
to you, sir.
Wayne:
No no no, that's fine. Just tell me where the departure
hall is. I'll appreciate that.
