Default Whale By-Products and Horror Comics?

Just a couple of things that USPS won't ship to the UK. Now I understand why they wouldn't want you sending a envelope stuffed with whale blubber, but why the comics?

Here's the full list:

ANIMAL PRODUCTS HORROR COMICS AND MATERIAL FOR PRINTING HORROR COMICS ANIMAL PROTEINS, PROCESSES INVESTIGATIONAL DRUGS CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCES PRISON MADE GOODS COPYRIGHT WORKS SEEDS (A) FLOURS AND MEALS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN SELF DEFENSE/DETERRENT SPRAYS HAIR AND WOOL, UNPROCESSED WHALE BY-PRODUCTS

Prison made Goods ?? I guess they don't need to ship Mailbags or License Tags to the UK.

Hair & Wool ?? So you cannot ship the sweater you knitted for your Mother.

Copywright Works ?? and you cannot send her a book either.

Who invents these lists?

Note. The list read "hair and wool", not hair and wool products so sweaters and bobbly hats are OK.

So those who have a thing for freshly shorn sheep's wool and merkins will have to buy their fix from within the US...

Absolutely not! That's clearly an animal product.

They probably don't ship sense of humour either, but only because its an export-controlled commodity due to its scarcity over here.

Isn't the funniest guy on late night TV a Scotsman? The funniest guy on TV on the whole is named Stewart so he must be a genetic Scotsman. Maybe there are no funny Americans.

Maybe he is one of the Kosher-Stuarts. They really are beyond the pale.
