ORIGINAL: rombsix quote:
clean socks Dirty ones don't work? [8D] Clean socks out of respect for the delicate sensibilities of the Customs agents. Although, in the last twenty years I have entered the USA at least 60 times, but I haven't been asked to open a suitcase or a guitar case during the whole period. I don't know what pops up on the computer when Immigration scans my passport, but without fail the agent says, "Welcome home, Mr. Jernigan." More than 30 years ago I came in from London to JFK in New York. I was asked to open my suitcase. To my horror, I noticed I had failed to take care of certain items. The Customs agent pounced, grabbed them and said, "What are these?" with consummate New York rudeness. "Cuban cigars," I replied. It was winter. "Put 'em in your overcoat pocket, dummy!" the agent commanded. I did, and entered the USA without further difficulty. RNJ
