So I took a shell.
I said, let me bring in one of these because this is something from my family, you know, from where I'm from.
And I get to the airport and in the security, they stop it.
I was going to ask you how that went.
And it's an empty shell.
And I read about it and you're allowed to do it, but...
You're not.
You're allowed to do it on paper, but apparently you're not allowed to do it at the airport.
So they said, no, you can't go.
You're going to have to.
We're going to have to throw it out.
I said, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not throwing that out.
