When we got to the front, the customs agent asked if we had any food we bought from Canada, and we remembered that we had some leftovers. He asked if we had any citrus fruit, and I said yes, I thought we might have some cut blood orange left over, and he wasn't very happy with me! ("You THINK? You don't KNOW if you have it?") I had to...
