Oh ye of little faith......

I'll just leave this here. The Mr. President was very impressed. Hopefully, after in-theatre evaluation by The Marine Corps my new model Krupp 464(b) will enter general service sometime in 2020.

Sadly, it was confiscated at Heathrow. I appear at Hounslow Magistrates Court on Wednesday week.

I know a brilliant lawyer. I believe he will be out of prison by this Thursday.

Please accept my sincere apologies for your inconvenience.

I recall the vendor wittering on about export licences or somesuch bureaucratic nonsense. Pah!

I'm sure there will just be a small fine. A mere slap on the wrist.

I will of course defray your expenses.

They are in that U.S. and A.

Photoshop. Fake news.
As any fule knows, it is illegal to photograph teaspoons within half a mile of Federal buildings.

If you did take cutlery into the White House (and it is a BIG if), the only way is to send the implement ahead for screening by the Secret Service. I believe it takes three weeks (probably because the CIA also get involved, allegedly).

If you zoom in on the bowl of the spoon, rotate the image you can get a distorted view of them! Which is what they don't like - the fact that you could take a spoon in to a Federal building, photograph it BUT capture the actual image in the reflection on the spoon. And as soon as anyone knows what spoon you are using, they can apply the appropriate anti-distortion function on Photoshop and see secret documents. Some versions of imaging software come pre-loaded with popular spoon properties and shapes now I believe, with the ability to program custom parameters in

They’re only laughing at the fact that Blib thinks the Krupp 464(b) is deemed a quality spoon!

Controversial I know but I'm not so sure that is a Krupp. Knowing Blib though I'm sure he wouldn't be trying to fool anyone again.
