The Successful 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.
The next day, 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 is repeated every day for a year.
Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard runs into 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."
