Deputy Customs Chief Serhiy Semka denied claims that the State Customs Service is creating artificial obstacles to grain exports."I can assure you there are no artificially created delays” said Serhiy whilst heroically managing to keep a straight face.
"Also, we have spotted flying pigs over Simferopol and are in discussions with the younger sister of Elvis Presley."
What is the opposite of artificial? In this case it's very much official.
