Two stories came to me today regarding border crossing that made me go hmmmm:
First the funny. John Hargrave, owner of the World’s Only Comedy Website, ZUG.com, documents his prank of trying to get a vibrator through customs. While it’s turned on. Down his pants. Wow. Simply wow. Worksafe.
And the not so funny. Xtra reports (rather sensationally) that Mr Leatherman Edmonton 2003 was refused entry into the US (worksafe, but there are ads of jockstrappioed males touching their nether-regions) after the custom officials rifle through his posessions and (supposively) linger over his wedding album. He claims the custom officials treated him differently after they saw the album, despite not knowing until after being turned back that the album was opened. Midway through the article, it’s reported that Mr Edmonton has a previous record – for fraud.

Poor Mr. Leather.
Hopefully they didn’t try to cross into Evangenical Land dressed like the photo from the story – a dead give away.
And maybe the gun thing was the guards trying to see if they’d get all horned up by the intended intimidation.
I’m sure the Bush/Harpers have more bible-thumping-fun to come – and don’t forget the reopening of the whole marriage thing this fall.
With any luck Harper will lose his X-tian ally next fall when the US loses the burning Bush.
