Crossing the border back into the U.S. was quite an interesting experience

Border Guard: "So what do you do for a living?"
Me: "I am a college student."

Me: "Did a little shopping."
BG: "What did you buy?"
Me: "Just bought some Lego, there was a good sale."
BG: "You are a college student and you went to Montreal just to buy Lego?"
Me: "Yes Sir."
BG: "Well, okay then."  (At this point the man's facial expression was quite
interesting.  He didn't seem to know at all what to say)

With a story like that and you still didn't get pulled out of the car and
strip-searched?  That guard probably later started thinking about what you
said and the NEXT college student who says he's crossing the border "just to
buy LEGO" will probably be met with a lot more suspicion than you were.

LOL, I guess someone needs to x-post this to .general as a warning to everyone
