Colombian authorities now deploy police-clowns to patrol the airports looking for people who aren’t taking care of their luggage properly, then make off with their stuff. “Sodding rats’ tits,” I said. I was kind of annoyed because it had my passport and camera in it. Then this clowan comes up and says, “Ha, ha! It was me all the time!” and gives it back.
He probably thinks he taught me a valuable lesson.

Has the world got stupider recently, or has life always been like this?
