:mad Ain't this about a bitch......

I've been collecting Jack Daniel's bottles for 14 years now. For the last 3 or 4 years I have been on the lookout for a specific bottle that is not available for standard U.S. purchase. The only place I have seen this bottle is in Duty Free shops in Chicago and Dallas/Ft.Worth and I was not on flights leaving the country so I couldn't buy them.

These bottles can be bought on eBay for $140 - $450 USD.

Well......I'm sitting in an airport on my way to Thailand. I glanced through the Duty Free and found what I have been searching for.

I grabbed 2 of them and headed for the register. The lady asked for my boarding pass. She looked at it and said: "You're going to Tokyo?" I told her I had a layover in Tokyo then off to Bangkok and so forth.

Lady: "You no buy."

Me: "Why not?"

Lady: "You go Customs in Tokyo then security again. Bottle more than 3 ounces. They take from you."

Me: "Fuck!"


Ain't that about a bitch? I finally find this damn bottle when I can buy it but it will be confiscated because some dumb fuckers tried to blow up planes with liquid explosives.

Terrorists are keeping me from enjoying my Jack Daniel's........Bastards.
