why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

Interesting. With South African and New Zealand passports, the only rule is I have to use the NZ one to enter and exit NZ, and the RSA one to enter and exit RSA. For other countries, I can use either (whichever gives the best options for visas) but the general rule is not to exit a country on a different passport than you entered with. That gets them irritated. Strangely, the sniffer dogs always like me - and I'm not even a smoker. Don't know why, but sniffer dogs love me. I usually get pulled aside for a more thorough inspection - so much so, that I now always take the red line - it's faster!

Maybe it's because of this ...

For the same reason there are asteroids in both hemispheres and hemorrhoids in your, uh, well, nevermind.

Quote:

The word derives originally from the Old High German “bacho”, meaning “buttock”, which in turn derived from the Proto-Germanic “backoz”, meaning “back”. By the 14th century, it found its way into Old French as “bacun”, meaning “back meat”. And by the 16th century, it found its way into Middle English as “bacoun”, which referred to all cured pork, not just the back meat.

So following the Germanic and French origins of the word bacon, eat more butt.
