SPORES 101

I got my package today. My free syringe.
You know, they open the packagges here to make sure you get no illegal things. There were two ladies as clerks and a border-police officer. He inspected the content and asked me what that was. I told him it was a syringe with mushroom spores and it was a giveaway. The ladies said it was a great giveaway. He then asked me how he can be sure that there's not "something to inject in my veins". I told him I can't know for sure eighter and then he gave me the yringe and I left.
I was pretty scared when I saw the clerk was going to open the box. I don't think I would have got into trouble but my mother would have found out and I would probably get on the news for that. Well, my luck the guy didn't know what P. Cubensis meant.
1000 thanks SPORES 101.

Oh, you know where I am. I gave you my adress. I wouldn't like topost my country right now (if you think I'm being paranoic then just think what happened to me today). I'm from eastern Europe. I remembered this happened when my family got packages from the US before '89.
Another scary thing was a sort of warning writen on the notification that I have a package waiting for me. It was something like "Be here on the 20-07. It's in your own best interest."
Well, I go hooked up with a nice girl today and I also met some old friends. And I bought some sandals too and went to the gym and to the pool for 2 hours. It was a pretty productive day and joyful too.
And the syringe looks beautiful. Thanks again for it. No syringe ever made me so happy. I usualy don't like them.
Oh, and after I got out of the post ofice I noticed "P. Cubensis" was written on the syringe. The guy inspected it carefuly so I guess I was lucky he didn't know what this meas.

Yeah, but you are not allowed to buy alcohol until 21.
And is it the same for you if the package is from within the country or from out of it. Don't they check them at all?

The anthrax thing only crossed my mind. I never thought about that seiously.
But I see this syringe will not only give me tons of shrooms but it also makes me feel great. It gives me much self confidence. I mean, while an officer was inspecting my syringe and asking me if it has something to do with drugs (he was inspecting it toroughly, read what was on the etiquette and looked at it from every angle) I was able to put a geek attitude on and begin to explain to the ladies how complicated it is to grow mushrooms, that you have to boil everything, etc. Oh, I know you're worse, you study the spores under the microscope. But if he had read on the box "microscopic sample" he might have seen there's something weired about it. They're really not that stupid to believe one would study spores under the microscope. One of the ladies began to make jokes - "Where are you going?" "Oh, I'm going down in the basement to my shrooms." - shee found this very funny. God, I am so courageous and calculated - sorry, I couldn't help it.
I can't wait to get some jars inoculated.
