I don't know what you called this wonderful french customs bloke, but I'm sure that it was true rather than an insult? Perhaps you could reclaim your fine, as I'm sure that french law would be on your side in this case? LOL!

Seriously, that was unlucky for you - but as you say you were in good company!

They will always cover for each other even when one of them is wrong. They can't afford the appearance of incompetence.

What three letter word did you call him? "Con" by any chance? Is that an abbreviation for "connasse" or "connard"?

Thank God they didn't find that ounce of China White stuffed up your rectal cavity. That would really be embarrasing!
