⌐MEXICAN SMUGGLER

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on
his bicycle. He's got two large bags
over his shoulders.

The guard stops him and says, "What''s
in the bags?"

"Sand," answered Juan.

The guard says, "We'll just see about
that get off the bike." The guard takes
the bags and rips them apart; he
empties
them out and finds nothing in them but
sand.

He detains Juan overnight and has the
sand analyzed, only to discover that
there is nothing but pure sand in the
bags.

The guard releases Juan, puts the sand
into new bags, hefts them onto the
man''s shoulders, and lets him cross
the
border.

A week later, the same thing happens.
The guard asks, "What have you got?"

"Sand," says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination
and discovers that the bags contain
nothing but sand.He gives the sand back
to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on
his bicycle.

This sequence of events if repeated
every day for three years. Finally,
Juan
doesn't show up one day and the guard
meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.

"Hey, Buddy," says the guard, "I know
you are smuggling something. It's
driving me crazy. It's all I think
about..... I can't sleep. Just between
you and me, what are you smuggling?"

Juan sips his beer and
says, "Bicycles."
