Meeting The Rubber Glove

[Prof Willie B]

If you think Charon, Erebus, Minos or any other of the guardians of Hell, Hades or Californian night clubs, are bad then you haven't had a run in with Australian Customs officials.
"Raymond, The Freeze-dried Gerbil"(we just called it that for some reason) has been returned to Bev. The small plastic bottle has been removed from his head to analyse it's contents, leaving a cute little plastic collar around his neck.
Supposing a suppository smuggling effort, they have investigated the contents of Raymond with the zeal of an alien vivisector among an Oklahoma cow herd (this has at least confirmed his gender).
He has only been returned because he was freeze-dried (one shouldn't fly in the cargo hold) when he got here, they soaked him in something so he wasn't so stiff and after they had finished, they kindly sewed him back up and dessicated him again.

The Japan regurgititive culture clash incident is too old to be put up as contemporary embarrassment.
But thank you prof for inspiring me to try and recall this years possible lowlight.

Martin I think that you get a lifetime achevment award for your Dancing Orange Juice Shower. Turning the cultural tables of shame makes it worthy. (As well as packing down all that Korean poison)

Being the inaugural year of the "Raymond Award", the judges don't feel inclined to restrict themselves to any time period.
