jamon smuggling...

i fly a lot...and im american...so i generally have no trouble going through airport security.   so...naturally i took the jamon...and went through homeland customs immigration.  i usually get asked one or two questions...but this time....

"where did you go?   how many days?  did u bring any food back?  where do you live?   how are you getting home?"

five questions in a row startled me...but not enough for me to stutter...but enough to make my brain flicker with doubt.  and then when i proceeded at the exit...i was slightly interrogated again...."where did you go...did you bring food with you...."  and after a series of No's...i made it home...with goodies in tow.....YUUUMMMM>....
