Custom vs. Customs



Our custom furniture from India FINALLY arrived at the receiving dock.

My client headed up to Portland to pick it up. She met with customs. They asked her what kind of wood. They asked her what kind of inlay. "Uh, camel bone?" She was right. Camel bone. Naturally shed camel bone.

Unfortunately, the sweaty customs guy in his fluorescent lit laminate clad office didn't like that answer. Client sent home. Furniture sent to customs at FISH & WILDLIFE. Seriously.

Bastards. Camel bone fearing bastards. It's funny. Ish.

    GIRL, YOU EITHER HAVE THE WORST LUCK OR THE GODS ARE SMILING DOWN ON YOU, IN THEIR OWN WAY.
    I hope your shipment is released soon so it can make an appearance.
