Take on the odd banner Chinese item.

When you leave China, you walk through a customs hall and are met with a huge sign with prohibited articles and items that should be declared. It's got photos of cultural relics, RMB in excess of 20,000, US currency in excess of $5000 or a bunch of gold. This is all sort of normal for somebody who travels around the world but there was one photo had me confused. See in addition to not being able to walk out with a cultural relic, you also can't bring back an elephant.

I've brought some interesting gifts back from my trips and have overstuffed my suitcase but I can't remember trying to shove a gigantic mammal into it
