Wonder if they paid excess baggage when they checked them in.......75kg ???? ![]()
No half measures with this guy, WOW 75kgs. I suppose if you are going to get done for sheep it may as well be a lamb.
Imagine picking the wrong bag by accident![]()
Windsurfers had way more fun with the 98kg of Viagra in their bags.
Stiff board
98 kg worth of 'kite gear'. That wouldn't have fooled Customs, 98kg of windsurfing gear seems more believable.
Remember once I was flying to work and the guys I work with were on the fittness craze and asked me to bring some protien power for them; 3x3kg tubs. So obvious the tubs dont fit in my bag so I put it in plastic bags wrapped in tape to stop splitting ,.. anyhow arrive at Singapore airport and the customs guy pulls me to one side to put my bag throught the scanner and Im thinking this is going to take ages to exsplain and them nothing,.. waves me straight through without even opening the bag, nine kgs of wrapped powder didnt raise an eyebrow,. crazy hey!
Imagine a bagage handler picking up a board bag that weighs 50kg
Nothing suss about that
i've travelled a few times with a 40Kg board bag. it's not that surprising really
