| Forum Health Inspector | Post; How to Handle Customs Officers...AFTER an overnight flight to meet my father at his latest military assignment, my mother wearily arrived at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany with my eight siblings and me -- all under age 11. Collecting our many suitcases, the ten of us entered the cramped customs area. A young customs official watched our entourage in disbelief. "Ma'am," he said, "do all these children and all this luggage belong to you?" "Yes, sir," my mother said with a sigh. "They're all mine." The customs agent began his interrogation: "Ma'am, do you have any weapons, contraband or illegal drugs in your possession?" "Sir," she calmly answered, "if I'd had any of those items, I would have used them by now." The official allowed us to pass without opening a single suitcase. --Contributed to "Humor In Uniform" by Mary E. Levy Provided Courtesy of Reader's Digest.

| Optio | yes, being the oldest of a big family does offer a unique perspective. Although I might not qualify with only 5 siblings. |
