Canadian customs is really much nicer than US customs.<br /><br />Once, in taking the ferry from Victoria to Seattle, I failed to finish my lunch en route. I then forgot about it, and the US Customs agent discovered an avocado in my bag. She was displeased. She was infuriated when I pointed out the 'California' stamp on it and said that it ought to be all right as it was an expatriate avocado. I really had a hard time at the border that day.Lord of the Eeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795999538116521025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-39078481593983360302010-07-27T03:19:01.850-04:002010-07-27T03:19:01.850-04:00Hey Doc G.
