Vapers are Criminals, Let's Just Accept It!

So today, I will go down, as I often do, to my local post office to send off some vapemail. I will package my items (if necessary) and patiently wait in line till it is my turn. I will greet the clerk, whom I know by name, and hand him/her my package. He/she will put the item on the scale and ask me some basic questions, which I will answer.

Then begins, what I can only describe as a shift into a quasi alternate reality of sorts. Like a machine, and almost involuntarily, my once human friendly neighborhood postal clerk will vomit forth the following question/script/spiel (or something akin to it):

"does this contain anything fragile, liquid, perishable, or potentially hazardous, including lithium batteries?"

And for my part, I will answer in a similiar robotic/knee-jerk-like fashion "no", as though I were some sort of inter-galactic honor student/boy scout of the year/hall monitor/farm fresh rube (no offense intended):

And the charade will be over.

Sometimes I ask myself "liquid? Lithium batteries?", are they joking? aren't these items the very bread and butter of vapers and of vaping? Does this not comprise like 75% of all vapemail? Aren't these vaping essentials? What would happen if I said "yes"? Wouldn't the clerk do a double take if someone actually said 'yes' to this question? Would the response 'yes' even register? Surely they would have to clear out their ears to make sure they heard right, then ask for confirmation, and then possibly look at you as though to attempt to determine your planet of origin. (I have actually joked with them about it, and the answer was they could not accept it if I said yes).

Sometimes, I feel bad, because I don't want to/don't advocate breaking any laws. But I must admit to being a criminal and breaking federal law because I am s vaper who does use the postal service.

So do I belong in prison? ;-)
Who will cast the first stone?
