Explain this to me

So I'm online trying to buy a bottle of Iceberg vodka, a Canadian vodka that is p much the best ever. Now, I live three hours away from British Columbia, four from Alberta, but shipping and handling from Canada on just one bottle off ebay is 12 bucks.

However, I can get a bottle from Miami, a state almost 20 hours away, with 3 dollars shipping.

WTF

^^ What he said. Crossborder shipments involve a lot of paperwork, even for small shit, so the lions share of that 12 bucks shipping is mostly likely going to customs clearance, duty and taxes.

Another police trainer said Chuck Norris was a role model for the police in Falluja, which until 2007 was an al Qaeda stronghold and the scene of fierce battles with security forces.

Iceberg is better the grey goose.

Iceberg is made from the icebergs they harvest off the coast of Newfoundland. It's fucking good stuff man. better then smirnoff, better than polar ice, better then grey goose and chopain even...

It's basically the shit.

I know you're trying to buy vodka, and I'm gonna let you finish, but smirnof in the plastic bottle is the best vodka of all time.
