09/02/10 Grif.Net – Smuggler

[A wonderful cyber-friend sent this note – Keep it up, Dr. Bob. I enjoy
every hour of it! My parents named me Bill because I came near the first of
the month (5-5-20). Wow,
that makes me 90 years old and still enjoying Grif.Net!]

While crossing the US-Mexican border on a bicycle, the man was stopped by a
guard who pointed to two sacks the man had on his shoulders. “What’s in the
bags?” asked the guard.

“Sand,” said the cyclist.

“Get them off – we’ll take a look,” said the guard.

The cyclist did as he was told, emptied the bags, proving they contained
nothing but sand, reloaded the bags, put them on his shoulders and continued
across the border.

Two weeks later, the same thing happened. Again the guard demanded to see
the two bags, which again contained nothing but sand. This went on every
week for six months, until one day the cyclist with the sand bags failed to
appear.

A few days later, the guard happened to meet the cyclist downtown. “Say
friend, you sure had us going crazy”, said the guard. “We knew you were
smuggling something across the border. I won’t say a word – but what is it
you were smuggling?”

“Bicycles!”
