The Mead Doctor and the Lynx

Dr. Garth Cambray (PhD of mead) of Rhodes College, South Africa, has a pet lynx. I did not know that you could have a lynx as a pet seeing as how it is a wild cat. But apparently if you get them at birth they will grow to be affectionate pets. However they may get you in trouble with international travel. He was recounting the tale of his trip to the International Mead Festival from South Africa. Before he left for the trip his pet lynx left a little gift in his new back in order to mark its territory. During his transfer in London, the drug dogs (who coincidently are trained not to react to cat pee but still do react to lynx pee) started to make a bit of fuss out of his bag and his cases of mead that he was transporting to the festival. So after opening all the boxes of mead and inspecting the inside to find no bombs or dungs, they let the good doctor go. And fortunately for all of us, he was able to make his plan.
