Nadja the apple smuggler got arrested while we were crossing the border back to Chile. What ensued was lots of laughing, lots of waiting, and some eyebrow furling.
It happened like this:
2:58 pm - Nadja X-rays her appleful bag at the Chilean border crossing
2:59 pm - a dog discoveres a half eated grilled cheese sandwich on our neighbor, and nobody cares
3:01 pm - The apples (2) in question are found in Nadja the apple thief's bag.
3:03 pm - The perpetrators (2 apples) get photographed and weighed (0.35 kg)
3:05 pm - We bid farewell to Nadja the terrorist as she is escorted to the interrogation room
3:33 pm - We laugh about the ridiculousness of the situation over and over again
3:35 pm - we laugh some more
3:46 pm - we stop laughing
3:52 pm- Nadja Bin Laden is released with a 25 Euro fine and lots of paperwork
We dont want apples entering Chile because there might be fruitflies in them which can close markets, lose millions of pesos and cause mass unemployment. I wish I was making this stuff up, but the large poster at the border did it for me.
