AllegroTrans Mar 9, 2023:
@ JL Yes, I also laughed
Jennifer Levey Mar 9, 2023:
@AT I could have deleted or changed it myself, but chose to let it stand because the accidental juxtaposition of those two expressions tickled my British sense of humour. I imagine Benny Hill would have done likewise - or more likely turned it into a bawdy sketch.
AllegroTrans Mar 9, 2023:
@ Jennifer I've deleted "check in your luggage"
Jennifer Levey Mar 9, 2023:
Totally OT - and no offence intended... The question header includes as part of the 'field' "check in your luggage".

Then María tells us "Es una acta de nacimiento."

Hmmm....
