Yesterday a box arrived from God's country (New England).I tore it open ,knowing that it was TWO JARS of Indian George's Heat Treat Relish.I got a jar a month ago for a friend,I have eaten most of it myself when visiting him.Anyway,Shortly after receiving the package two men in dark suits and sun glasses came to the store to see me.Showed me some badges and mumbled something about Dept. of Homeland Security.They wanted to know what I was planning on doing with such a HUGE supply of IG's HT chemical warfare compound! Seems the FBI tracks this stuff in shipping.They said that one jar could be explained as personal use,(about a three year supply),but three jars clearly indicated that I planned to either distribute it to terrorists through the underground,or was personally planning some diabolical scheme of global proportions.I feigned innocence,screwed the lid off a jar (They backed away ) took a spoon and ate some.Told them it was harmless.They both took a big spoonful and tried it.Last time I saw them they were headin' for the Black Sedan parked out front.Don't reckon I'll see them again soon.
