OT: Election 2004

[David E. Gervais]

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!

It's not so odd. Skull and Bones is not a political organisation. You don't have to be any particular party to be in it. Unless it's the kind of party where you get drunk out of your gourd and run neekid through the girls dorm.

I had heard Chirac could be bought, but I didn't know you could get him for free.

Not only he can be bought for free, but the whole lot comes at the same price! Yes that's right, a full governement for free! This wonderful deal comes with no string attached, and we are even willing to pay for their transport to Juneau or in another similar place.

Isn't that enough? Well, then, we are even willing to pay if you buy then. You cannot possibly turn down such a generous offer! I mean, they would be about as effective as the vanilla ministers in SE4. How can you have a better reference?
