It would depend upon whether it was a red state pickle or a blue state
pickle. Obviously blue state pickles give up their seed more easily.

Approximately the 1/3 the time it takes for an African swallow laden with a
coconut to fly to England.

Are you factoring in the time it takes to clear customs and any TSA
inspired foolishness?

I don't think the TSA has authority in England.
But no, clearing customs and agricultural quarantines are not part of the
time.

Notice I said "inspired".

Of course, it's quite possible that the British TSA equivalent folks could
come up with their own foolishness, but when you have the US TSA taking the
lead in this matter, you might as well save the effort of coming up with
your own -new- foolishness.

Yes, and I suspect that England, having dealt with terrorism for a lot
longer than US, doesn't need to look to TSA for inspiration

An orange, because a vest has no sleeves.

I think maybe they do. They're the folks that think the way to deal with
violence is by completely disarming the population, making even a small lock
blade pocket knife an illegal weapon and going way past anything I can
imagine in requiring victims of home invasion to literally run away from
perpetrators.

None, because ice cream doesn't have bones.
