(this is an example; but in here, it's really long time to get caught (if they ever arrive to the point of be able to caught you...) and court processes take centuries to happen)

(don't worry, Maddie has got high-priority, our cops don't want to do a bad figure... and the British (sensationalist) press doesn't help...)

You don't even want to know what Japanese pizza is like. But I'll tell you anyway: they totally butcher them with mayonnaise.

Japanese Diet Coke also tastes minutely different in a hard to pin down kind of way.
