Stealing Sand In Bicycle
Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got 2
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 analysed, 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 3 years. Finally,
Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina
in Mexico by coincidence.
"Hey buddy," says the guard, "I know you are smuggling
something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about and I can't
sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."
