a hap of a penis,
hey, if they like the taste, take a hap.
to each their own.
still trying to figure out why the heck the Subject of the Topic mentioned "produce",
if it's at the end just about women with a strange taste.
tough to stay on topic, if not understood what the heck the topic is about in the first place.
the only one to explain that one further is Chic,
but it is banned!

that's very easy, actually. if you follow the news you might have noticed that USA and haiti (DR's biggest export markets) introduced a ban of dominican produce (fruits and veggies) due to a plague of mediterranean fruit fly.

PinB, you are on a roll with links!

I can't imagine which ridiculous post got him banned. My guess is arguing with mods in pm.

DV, no english dilemma from your side, it is all fine, lol.
agreed to JD about the "plague".
on the other hand, the DR, with agriculture beeing a big factor of the country's income, they need waaay bigger control/checks of "what comes into the country".
hey, they still can let the containers filled with southern snow go thru undetected, BUT they need to check 'em for accidentally included other stuff like flies and spiders and bad fruits etc etc.
it is a serious matter for the DR.
on the other hand, if impossible to export the produce, just for the lil own consumption within the country, for that low amount production they will not need the hundred thousands illegal Haitian Workers anymore in that sector, so they can send them home without any sideeffect.

England used to have a coin called a "halfpenny", which was abbreviated to "ha' penny."

chic may have meant something similar when he referred to his "hap penis."

so long for now, chic. the clown bin won't be the same. nil nisi boner de mortuis.

Did they figure out where the fruit came from that had the fly? They may want to quarantine that country too.. APHIS should have caught it leaving the port of origin.

if they find out "they" will send the Marines to wipe that country off the Radar. such Flie sent over is almost a terrorist attack which requires appropriate measures.

This happens all the time.. The last bug that got a foothold in the US was a new kind of stink bug. Really bad for some crops. There's a reason they are very uptight about it.

And Ash trees in the US are going to be all but extinct in the next hundred years from another Asian bug, the Emerald Ash Borer..

Why did they kill almost all the pigs on the island back in the 70s? African Swine Fever. They were afraid it would make it to the US and cost billions. They think the pigs got into that from airline garbage.
