Want to hear a funny story?
Back in '91 I was on vacation in BC and woke up one beautiful morning and decided to take the short trip to Seattle and visit the city. I don't drive, so I just purchased return fair on the bus shuttle. When I got to the boarder I was refused entry into the US. No reason given, all attempts to find out why they would refuse me ignored. They simply handed me a paper that said "Request to enter US Denied". I had to walk accross the 6 lane highway to the Canadian boarder crossing and use my 'return' ticket to get back to Vancouver. Couldn't get a refund, ($80 down the drain) I have no criminal record, I'm a good decent fellow. I have been to the US several times before. So why was I refused entry? I guess I'll never know.
Wait I just had a thought, perhaps it was a Ticket Scam by Grayhound to rip people off. Or, perhaps there is a Customs law that says that 3 random people from every bus that crosses the boarder must be refused entry. (btw, the two other people refused entry that morning was a older man (in his 50's) and a younger girl about (20-24). They too said they were not given any reason for the 'banishment'.
Yup, very funny story, hillarious, I crack up every time I think of it.
What? US Custom's is not a political issue? Sorry for ranting then,
Cheers!
