Wow. All the guard had to do was ask again nicely...it wouldn't have hurt anything.

I think someone may need anger management classes... :rolleyes:

It may have been a lawful but dude, think about the PR mess you've created. Apparently men can get PMS too.

I remember coming through Customs from Victoria on I-5. The inspector was very short with us.

Very different from the Customs in Chicago, where after the paperwork, they finished our interaction with, "Welcome home."

I've read that low levels of testosterone can make men MORE aggressive :eek:

For Women it only requires a 1/2 off Sale!

I can say from personal experience, this also applies to Gay Men as well :o: .
