Going a little off topic based on the cork screw story... Last year, I entered Singapore by train. In my luggage was a 6 inch souvenir letter opener. The customs agent found this while xraying my bag. They asked me for my passport and led me to a small, secluded room. It wasn't scary, but then in a foreign country, I tend to get scared when my passport is taken from me. Long story short, I was finally able to talk my way into taking the souvenir with me.
