TALES FROM THE CRYPT….I have to admit that in the annals of bureaucratic pigheadedness, this isn’t a bad story. It kinda makes me wonder if the Kingdom of Denmark ever expunged that parking ticket I got there a few years ago. I guess I’ll find out if I ever go back and they toss me in jail instead of letting me through passport control.
