I’ve yet to meet a Customs Official with a sense of humour…
Our little airport had only two flights a day… I used to go through every fortnight, for almost two years… Everyone, including the Airport Manager and the baggage-handlers, knew me, but the Customs Officer wouldn’t even crack a smile of recognition… If I’d tried a comment like our Claire, I’m sure I’d have been dragged off for a full strip search…
On one of my infrequent trips to Canada, The Canadian border agent asked me if I’d bought anything. I told him two bottles of wine. He seemed disappointed. “That’s all?”
