Well, I for one am shocked--shocked!--that you chose to buy an import mug rather than support the grand tradition of artisan tiki mugs in France. The French mug makers, or les muggaliers, have passed on this fine trade from father to son, over many generations--some families having kilns that date from the time of Louis XIV. It is a little known fact that the Tiki Leilani mug was designed by the official muggalier to Emperor Napoleon, and is a tribute to Josephine's most favored poodle. How dare you not support your countrymen?? Do you want to feel responsible for the muggaliers losing their livelihoods? Do you??? I think you should have paid thrice that customs fee. A pox on you!
