The policeman arrived at the scene of an accident to find that a car had struck a telephone pole.
Searching for witnesses, he discovered a pale, nervous young man in work clothes who claimed he was an eyewitness.
“Exactly where were you at the time of the accident?” inquired the officer.
“Mister,” exclaimed the telephone lineman, “I was at the top of the pole!”
A fellow tries to cross the Mexican border on a bicycle with two big bags balanced on his shoulders.
The guard asks, “What’s in the bags?”
The fellow says, “Sand.”
The guard wants to examine them. The fellow gets off the bike, places the bags on the ground, opens them up, and the guard inspects… only to find sand. The fellow packs the sand, places the bags on his shoulders, and pedals the bike across the border.
Two weeks later, the same situation is repeated.
“What have you there?”
“Sand.”
“We want to examine.”
Same results… nothing but sand and the fellow is on his way again.
Every two weeks for six months, the inspections continue. Finally, one week the fellow doesn’t show up. The guard sees him downtown and says to the fellow, “Buddy, you had us crazy! We sort of knew you were s.m.u.g.g.l.ing something. I won’t say anything – what were you sm*ggling?”
The fellow says, “Bicycles.”
