DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER
While crossing the US-Mexican border on his bicycle, the man
was stopped by a guard who pointed to two sacks the man had on
his shoulders.
"What's in the bags?"
"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, and 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 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!"
