El Pirata
Got to the border about 5 pm was the 3 car in line we noticed that they were aggressively searching cars. our turn came up and was asked citizenship. Handed the inspector our passports. ran them and after 10 seconds he said open the truck. Well we had never been searched
before and was a new experience for us. He kept our passports and said to go to the secondary inspection lane 2. Well we were greeted
by a young friendly agent and he said it would be a minute before the agent in charge would come and deal with us. Well it was an older
agent and he looked kind of friendly too. He asked us what we had and said just decorative flowers. asked us if Steve in lane 1 had send us over and I said yes. The young guy went over and talked to Steve and they told us to open the trunk again. They searched our ice chest and
pulled out our eggs and black forest ham and a peach. Said we could not cross with these products and my wife said she had placed the stuff in the ice chest and he said who ever was driving was to be fined. He said I was not asked if I had fruits or vegetable so he was going to give us a warning. He was a nice guy and said we could go. I said Steve still had our passports, the young guy went and got the passports and came back and gave them to the older guy he handed them to me and looked in the back seat and saw our dog. He said got vaccination papers for him. I said no I left them on the refrigerator at home. He said "OH NO" someones going to Jail. He asked who's dog it was I said mine and my wife said it was hers and that's how the fight got started. Said said it was her dog and she was ready to do jail
time for him. The 2 agents looked at each other and said where's his tags, We told them we had taken him for a walk outside the casino in why and he broke his collar pulling so hard and they must of fallen off. They looked at the dog again and said he don't look like a stray.
I asked them if they ever read the RPT forum and they said yes. I told him them our dog is the playaperro and they said should of told them.
They said they don't know how playa comes up with the stuff but its true. They said have a good day playa. We stopped at the casino on the way home and found his tags.

Nice!

My favorite border story is the time my ex-husband and I got the red light going across to Mexico. I was driving and pulled over and rolled down the window. They asked if we had guns and I just flexed and pointed to my arm and said, "Just these." The guy about fell over laughing. I'm not a big girl. He then asked us to open the back of the SUV. When my ex-husband got out they took one look at him (he's 6'5") and came over and asked me in Spanish how tall he was. Of course they use the metric system so there I am with two guards doing metric conversions (yes, I remembered that there are 2.5 centimeters in an inch. How I remember this I have NO idea...) in the dust on the back window of the car. It was hilarious! They told me I was one funny Americana and sent us on our way.

Black Forrest Ham sort of bugs me. Big reputation,lots of people on the bandwagon but all and all it's sort of the Heineken of ham ...imported and smells like a skunk
