Arrr, me hearties! It seems them eggs be more sought after than a barrel o' rum! The border guards be snatchin' 'em up like scallywags, with over 5,500 egg captures this year alone! Blame the bird plague, I say! A fine mess for hungry buccaneers, indeed!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of eggs, border bustlin', and a foul fowl plague! Aye, it appears that the mighty U.S. Customs and Border Protection be catchin' more eggs than pirates be catchin' gold doubloons! In this here fiscal year, they’ve seized a whopping 5,572 eggy treasures, outpacing even that scallywag fentanyl! Aye, ye heard it right—more eggs than a henhouse on a Sunday mornin'!But what be causin' this egg-straction, ye ask? It be a nasty bird flu runnin' rampant, causin' poultry shortages across the land! The good folks be in a scramble, tryin' to make do without their precious eggs for breakfast! Last year, the border patrol nabbed over 15,000 eggy packages, and the year before that, a record 16,541! ’Tis a veritable epidemic of egg thievery on the high seas of commerce!
So, as ye swab the decks and count yer booty, remember the plight of the poor eggs! For in these dark times, they be more valuable than a chest full of gold! Raise a toast to the brave customs agents, protectin’ the realm from egg smuggling, and may the seas be ever in yer favor, ye scallywags!
