NO ODDJOB!!!
Nah, Random Task
She should have tried to smuggle in a golden cigarette case, golden cigarette lighter, golden cufflink and golden fountain pen.
Although she may have had to have paid duty on any cigarettes in the cigarette case.
The clown school she was travelling to go to has instantly awarded her her diploma, no questions asked.
It was the Arthur Fleck School of Clowning.
This seems so weird, she is probably mentally ill to some degree. Who forgets about a $3000 golden gun? Who even puts it in a suitcase? It's too expensive to haul like that. Plus who doesn't know they hate people bringing weapons on international flights everywhere and screen for that? Clown school? In another country??? Has been using drugs, too?
... and they just put her in jail instead of the loony bin where she gets therapy.
How'd she get it past US security? Which airline permitted her to check it through to Australia?
Something really doesn't add up but I don't know nearly enough about the nuances to even begin trying to unravel it.
See she forgot to say as a US citizen she has a right to bear arms so they had to let her go.
Rookie mistake.
Duhdundahdahhhhhh
