WOW..and to think... all I was trying to do is smuggle 5 pieces of Bacon. So I have learned a lot. 1. The customs folks probably read this forum and if they take the time to figure out who I am I will be on the watch list for sure so..no more bacon smuggling for me. 2. Even TALKING about Bacon brings out the worst in people 3. Don't buy a condo, especially if you like Bacon. 4. If you are Mexican (or maybe even Chinese) you might get shot if you like Bacon and you're near the border. 5. Us Americans are some of the most enthnocentric people in the world when it comes to protecting our Bacon.
As a side note, we actually did live a couple blocks from Hammer (M.C. Hammer at the time) when he built his huge mansion in Fremont Calif. His nephew played Pop Warner football with my son and they are still friends. Although he went bankrupt years ago he has made a comeback of sorts and is back making the big bucks.
