Customs Officer: Japan's a low-risk country. It's like the UK... but in Asia.
Trainee: OK, cool. Sir, can I have your form?
Dad: Sure.

Dad: Yes sir, I have pickles and cake.
Trainee: What kind of pickles? Any fruit?

Officer: No meat? No vegetables?
Dad: Nope.
Officer: Ok, you're good to go. (To trainee) See? No meat.
