Mexican Smuggler
Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's
got two large bags over his shoulders.
The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"
"Sand, " answered Juan.
The guard says, "We'll just see about that get
off the bike." The guard takes the bags and rips them
apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but
sand.
He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only
to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.
The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts
them onto the man's shoulders, and lets him cross the
border.
A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What
have you got?"
"Sand, " says Juan.
The guard does his thorough examination and discovers
that the bags contain nothing but sand.He gives the sand
back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.
This sequence of events if repeated every day for three
years. Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the
guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.
"Hey, Buddy, " says the guard, "I know
you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy.
It's all I think about..... I can't sleep. Just
between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."
