Well, I don’t have any money and I sure won’t be traveling out of the country anytime soon. |

I know what you mean S.G. That's why I'm not going to Canada at Hekler's invitation. He says he's got a sure fire money making opportunity regarding currency of the Canadian kind. I inquired for more details as I am skeptical...mmm...uh huh.. |

Hey Larry Nobody would really be concerned over the amount of cash that I ever carried when I flew. I did cause a bit of excitement once, though. I was visiting a friend up in Reno and decided that I would bring him five pounds of headed jumbo shrimp. (10 shrimp per pound) Anyway, not being a frequent flyer, I wasn't hip to packing etiquette. So, I froze the shrimp ahead of time and then wrapped `em in several layers of newspaper and stuck `em in my carry on duffel bag. (always travelled extremely light) Well, as luck would have it, we spent six extra hours on the runway and my shrimp began defrosting. I informed the stewardess and she took the shrimp off my hands. She even gave me six of those mini liquor bottles, in assorted flavors. (1.7 oz) I really hated giving up the shrimp, but I didn't have enough money to buy an ice chest and since Reno was the girls home base, I figured "what the heck." The actual incident occurred as I was heading for "Ground Transportation." A brace of airport security agents were leading a trio of drug sniffing dogs and headed in the same direction as I was. When I came abreast, the hounds went into hysterics, the agents insisted that I lay prone and belay any "furtive movement." I was stripped of my duffel bag, taken to a "back room" and subjected to various forms of interrogation. I tried to explain that I had been carrying shrimp in my bag, and ditched it. They weren't buying any of that, until I produced the stewardess's phone number and she graciously came forward and explained everything. "Jane" and I had the shrimp, that evening, with a "Blistered tomato and Basil salad" and approx 10 ounces of various flavors of alcohol. |

Date: 8/21/2021 2:45:00 PM From Authorid: 21435 The reality of life on the southern coastal prairie is 95 degrees, with a 110 degree heat index. I bet it don't get that hot in Finland! |

...Kronk...what you need now is a beef jerky smoker. Check ou page 46 in the new HeklerCo catalog. Hot people LOVE beef jerky! Get in on the ground floor! |
Date: 8/22/2021 4:27:00 PM From Authorid: 21435 Hekler L.E.D. here: Kronk has several pounds of "Humboldt squid" hanging on the our clothesline, to dry. "Cool," he ain't! More like, "Hot & Nasty." |

...hey there L.E.D! I applaud your attempt to contain knowledge of Kronk's "sideline businesses" by speaking in code but I'm pretty sure that ATF doesn't follow the events here on USM so he should be pretty safe. The "Humboldt squid" is obviously a reference to moonshine and the "clothesline" is a still. By chance, does he provide tastings? |

Hekler "I will serve no squid, before it's time." I remember, back when I was gainfully employed, I was put out of a co worker's vehicle, one morning. He refused to allow me to bring my squid aboard. (I carried a couple in my shirt pocket, to nibble on during my shift.) He said that my snack smelled like rotten shrimp. Some people have absolutely no taste, at all. L.E.D.---I can't see how you can eat that stuff. kronk---"I love the smell of dried squid in the morning." L.E.D---Ugh! |
