Underpacked

A classic cliched joke in sitcoms is when a character has to sit on their suitcase to force in the huge numbers of clothing they are taking with them on holiday only for a second character to deliver the killer punchline of: 'but we're only going for a night' ( Ha hah ah hah hah hah hah, laughs the manical canned laughter).

In real life it must have been an easy spot for customs officials at Newcastle airport when they searched a Brazilian woman's suitcase only to discover it was full of nothing but lingerie and nightdresses. The suitcase would have been nice and light, not bursting at the seams or creaking - therefore indicating something was amiss.
