Tip of the day:  Re-use your plastic bags.

My classic one was when i flew from Calgary in Canada to New York.

The negro customs officer US customs that i met in Calgary saw me coming and 
donned a pair of rubber gloves before he took my passport. A few questions 
and I was asked to stand in an ante room. A whole lot of questions followed 
asked by another officer and the end came only when i proved i worked for an 
american oil company!

the explanation was then made that i was the 80 th passenger to go through 
there which seemed logical! However for a sleepy town and  a flight every 
hour there were a few thousand passengers through there  cos when i walked 
out of the room there were 111 people who were the 80th and all were guess 
what brown black or yellow!!!
