Listen chaps,

We're dreadfully sorry to inflict Micca upon you, what with all the other unwelcome things arriving in your land at the present time.
However we would like to point out that the effects of a Micca attack are not as serious as they might appear. Yes, he can burble for hours on end, particularly with a captive audience, but there are simple measures which can be taken.
One of the simplist is the cider approach. This can be effected in one of two ways. Either threaten notto let him have any cider until he agrees to be gagged, or pour more than six pints down his neck, at which point he will fall comatose and be rendered easily transportable.
However, when transporting a comatose Micca, on no account should you use any hooks!
In fact, the SOPs in the H.M.Customs Handbook advise that, in general, Miccas should be treated like any non-threatening mammal. Breeding is not recommended, however.
When you've finished with your Micca you can either return him to the UK in the packaging provided (with duty pre-paid on his liver, of course) or let him loose in any US chemistry laboratory, where he will amuse himself for the forseeable future developing hitherto unknown explosives and cocktails which can be used in "Operation Infinite Hangover".

Best wishes,

The Exciseman
