Fulano. Your sentiments are appreciated but not necessary. I am not offended.
I just wrote what I felt.
Be happy.
As far as what the CO talked about to us, I was quite surprised. He never spoke to the purpose, but the intention was clearly to take an excessive amount of cash through customs without declaring it.
It is a matter for speculation as to why. My own speculation based on what he said was that they had a definite purpose for the cash. And they didn’t want any interference.
As far as being dumb as sticks. We all got involved In Watchtology. So some lumber upstairs seems to be a universal.
I feel that the deeper into Watchtology one was, the thicker the lumber.
But if we meet a good lumberjack we will be fine.
