Seen in Brisbane Airport

In a display cabinet of contraband in Brisbane airport, we saw this treasure. Alongside boxes of strange Chinese herbs and crocodile foot backscratchers was a dried cane toad proudly claiming ownership of a dented can of Castlemaine 4X beer. What a wonderful totem.

I nearly went to the information desk to ask for 5 of them, along with two of the backscratchers, and a bag of those bits of Chinese tiger. I didn't realize it was a display of bad things. I thought it was an Asian grocery store. It was early.

What's the problem? Is it because he's not wearing pants? You can see Emeline in the distance, patiently watching me admire it. I think I liked it more than she did.
