My daughter Sarah and a somewhat similar, but yet different, experience when she was moving back to the states from Germany.
Her company pays for all the packing and moving expenses, so the movers came in and started packing. Well, they came across her stash of various vibrators and told her that she had to remove all of the batteries because they could not be shipped.
Sarah said she knows this news somehow got back to her office (Lohr is a very small town) because of the smirks she would get when anyone asked how the move was coming.
Sisters…be proud. Maybe we should have vibrator pendants to wear around our necks?
